Description
Holsworthy Ales is a micro-brewery situated in the heart of Devon's Ruby Country in Clawton, Holsworthy. Brewing began commercially in June 2011 with the aim of producing distinctive, interesting, well-hopped yet balanced beers. With the sole exception of Bee Merry (which contains honey) all of Holsworthy Ales' wide range of ales are vegan friendly in both bottle and draught form. The intention is to make the beers taste as clean and natural as possible so no chemicals are added to the beautiful soft Devon water and no finings are used in any of the ales.

Our aim has always been to supply our beers locally, so they are exclusive and unique to our area. Producing beer and supplying to local outlets has great appeal, reducing food miles and beer travelling time. This approach also allows us to build a good relationship with licensees and the local community.
