Description
In 2015, multi awarding-winning brewer and publican Olly Bainbridge launched a brand new brewery in Exmouth. With the beer initially produced through “cuckoo” brewing (using spare capacity in an existing brewery), this was the first step towards opening a part-crowdfunded 6 barrel brewery in The Grapevine’s old stables in Exmouth town centre in 2015.

Panda at home, thanks to Ed Danlo, 08/05/23. Golden amber with a good sized lasting just off white head. Nose is biscuit, grains, dried fruit esters, faint orange peel, herb. Taste comprises bitter fruit esters, raw fruits but not in an unpleasant way, hedgerow, herb, grains, crackers, tea leaves. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a leading bitter edge. Tidy enough bitter, could say a bit harsh in places, but keeps sharp and does what says in terms of being bitter!
