About
We, Sharp’s Brewery, are a modern brewer of cask and bottled beer based in Rock, Cornwall, and owner of the UK’s number one cask and bottled beer, Doom Bar. We’ve grown rapidly to become the largest brewer of cask beer in the South West.

Sharp's Brewery was founded in 1994 by Bill Sharp. The brewery has been through three phases – from a small micro brewery, to a larger facility within the same building and finally to the current phase that has seen the Brewery extend its premises to accommodate more vessels and increase its brewing capacity. Since 2011, the brewery has been owned by Molson Coors.

Cask at Shelverdine Goathouse, Norwood 30/11/2024 Toasted and lightly sweet malty with notes of caramel and toffee, undercurrent of twiggy herbal hoppy action, grain, cereal, dried fruit, soft cask carb, bitter hoppy finish. Good condition and surprisingly good.

Clear amber with a frothy off-white head and a malty nose with hints of floral hops. Light bodied, it’s sweet and malty up front but a touch of floral hop bitterness cuts in before a dry finish.

Cask at the Old Farmhouse, Kentish Town on 18th November 2024. Crystal clear amber with shallow, pale tan foam and scant lacing. Malty aroma. Nutty malts, zesty peels and fruitiness in-mouth, and a bitter note developing during a sweet, fruity finish. Light bodied with a zingy mouthfeel.

On a health kick so back on the AF. Drinking this reminds me of how bad AF beer used to be - loads of malt and that's it. This is not beer, it's a malt drink. Ghost Ship is 100 times better than this!

Bottle. Clear amber with a small white head. Aroma of nuts, malts and caramel. Taste of malts, dried fruits, caramel, hints of citrus fruits, toffee, nuts and some herbs. Low to moderate bitterness. Low carbonation. It’s alright but pales drastically in terms of personal enjoyment compared to the cask version.

Handpull cask at the Salmon, Leicester. Beer is light gold and clear with a small loose white head. Light aroma, a little bit soapy, some grapefruit and a little bit of tropical fruit. Taste is mostly sweet with some bright orangey hoos given some bitterness. Body on the light side with soft carbonation. Beer has moved on but I guess Sharp's hasn't... it's nice enough really if a little old fashioned.
