Description
Way up on the hills above Tintagel lies Condolden Farm, the highest Farmhouse in Cornwall and the home of Tintagel Brewery.
Originally set up in an old and redundant milking parlour, the environmentally friendly brewery is now housed in a state of the art, purpose-built facility.
We use pure water from our spring, rising 852 feet above the sea at Trebarwith Strand, and our very own wind turbine, to produce a suite of classic real ales for all of Cornwall to enjoy.
All beers are also made with wet yeast (a great mark of quality) and English malts and hops (so that they hold their head well), and have a refreshing sparkle in their character from cask conditioning.

29th March 2015: lunchtime pint in The Chequers, Walthamstow E17. Cask, hand-pulled: mahogany body a colourless wisp for a head (pity). Malty lead in both the nose and flavour: semi-sweet with bold fruitiness before the bitterness kicks in towards the finish.
