Description
First brewed in Summer 2008. Beers under the badge "Chideock Brewery", but coming from the same source were seen in May 2012. Brewery location North End Farm, Venn Lane, North Chideok. By 2014 the brewery had ceased brewing on its own equipment while seeking new premises. In the meantime it is believed that some beers are being brewed on an occasional basis at Sherfield Village brewery. In 2016 brewing recommenced at a new location in Devon. Brewing ceased again during 2020 with production moving back to Sherfield Village.

Bottle at the Croydonia Tasting, thanks to whoever provided this one, 13/07/13. Lightly hazed golden amber with a thin off white head. Nose is bready malts, bitter orange, lgith booze, sugars, mineral notes, hoppy backnote. Taste comprises light caramel, biscuit, bitter fruits, orange pith, dank hops. Medium bodied with bite, moderate carbonation, crisp bitter finish. Decent enough stuff - not 100% sure on this being classed as an IPA though! English Strong maybe - tough one !
