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.

Cask @ The Post Inn, Whiddon Down. Not overly impressed with the quality of this one back in September 2012, but much better at The Dartmoor Inn, Lydford in 2019 (neither pub as made it on to RB at the time of writing). Golden with a head. Slightly weaker textured in design, but there's a good hoppiness about this session ale coupled with hints of fruit.
