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.

Cask at Bree Louise. Very orange coloured, cloudy, no head. Looks like a scrumpy. Aroma is orange and stink, bit of lemon and wheat too. Taste is sweet and orangey. Lots of orange juice from concentrate taste, but almost as if it hadn't been diluted enough. More citrus sour than bitter. Very flat, and quite full on.
