Description
Six ingredients. Four traditional, two unique.
There are four traditional ingredients in our brewing - English malt, the finest hops, our own strain of yeast, and pure Dartmoor water. Then we add great people and an awesome location, to create some real magic in our craft ales.
Dartmoor Brewery was established in Princetown in 1994 by award-winning brewer Simon Loveless and local businessman in humble premises behind the Prince of Wales pub. Today we have a state-of-the-art purpose-built brewery complex, but still based very firmly in Princetown, our birthplace.
Our great beers come from a passion for the brewer's craft, and a passion for our birthplace and home, Dartmoor National Park. We use only the finest ingredients in our traditiional craft ales. The finest English malts, carefully selected hops, our own strain of yeast, and clear, pure Dartmoor Water.
As England's highest brewery, at 1465ft above sea level, we are also well placed to enjoy the benefits of clean, fresh Dartmoor, and stunning Dartmoor views in every direction - both of which, we think, add a certain touch of magic to our brews.

7th July 2015: hand-pulled cask half-pint in the Old Moseley, Birmingham. Very pale body, the thin white head managed to give some impressive lacing from somewhere. Decent blend with no real outstanding flavour or aroma, hops just about winning in the taste stakes towards the end of each sip.

Cask at the Allied Arms, Reading. Clear amber with a thick white head and a light sparkle. Decent fruity malt up front gives way to caramel. Too much caramel in fact; it gets a bit sweet and slimy and the hint of lemon hops that comes through isn’t enough to balance it.

Cask @ City Arms, Cardiff. Copper with massive head and lacing. Faint aroma if honey on toast, berries with a bit if sulphur. Taste is a sour-bitter astringent experience. A bit of sweetness pokes through in the corners of the finish. Grows on you, but not my thing. This is another beer I drank loads of in the naughties but we’ve drifted apart.

Fra håndpumpe på The Lemontree, sammen med Steve, Jules og Håkon: nydelig kobberfarge med litt rødskjær, pent men kortvarig skum. Behagelig fruktig aroma. Smaksrik for så lav voltstyrke. Meget lettdrikkelig og jeg nyter hver slurk sammen med noen av mine aller beste venner. An excellent pint.
