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.

Cask at GBBF. It pours deep brown with a small bubbly beige head. The aroma is rich, earthy, vinous, wood, leather, oily, cacao, fruit cake, sappy and varnish. The taste is drying, bitter, oily, slick, treacle, fruit cake, umami, burnt toast, peppery spice, liquorice, chewy, toothy and tannin with a drying finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Oily and rich. Rather enjoyable.

Half-pint, hand pulled cask ale at Tamar Inn, Calstock. Near-clear copper coloured body. Creamy, off-white head leaving crocheted lacing behind. Mid-sweet brown malty nose. Bread, caramel, earthy malts and moments of dried fruits to the taste buds. Finish off with a backdrop of leafy bitterness. Rather well balanced bitter ale (Included in Tamar Valley Rail Ale Trail, 26.09.2016).

From cask by gravity on the second day at Plymouth Camra Beer Festival 2016. Golden-brown body, naked surface, scattered lacing. Mild brown malty nose. Flavoured with bread, caramel and mid-dry fruits. Bittersweet ending. Just alright without further excitements (Shared with Finn 24.09.2016).
