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 @ White Swan, Hebden Bridge. Copper with a small glow and a creamy-smooth head. Smooth tasting slightly sweet bitter with a good density as a winter warmer ale. Its malts are very tasty.

Two hand-pulled cask pints on 16th July 2018 in the 'General Sir Redvers Buller' in Crediton, Devon. I really enjoyed this malty brew, hence the two pints over a lunchtime. Lovely clear deep amber body, steady white crown on top of each pint (and the wife's half-pint). Malt forward in both the nose and taste, some hop balance for a little bitterness, mild fruity notes and a twig or two for woody friends, a proper English Bitter.
