Description
16 years ago, we bought a run-down pub by the sea. Then we had the bright idea of making our own beer to save us the trouble of sourcing it. So, the Cornish Crown Brewery was born, having found a home perched between beautiful Mount’s Bay and the rugged West Penwith moors. We’ve learnt a lot along the way, but perhaps not taking ourselves too seriously has been our greatest asset.
Having got the pub re-established again, we thought, what if we make our own beer? We liked the idea of not having to go to the trouble of sourcing beers from all over the country and exercising complete control over the whole process. After some serious study and a stint at a reputable national brewery, the Cornish Crown Brewery was born on the hill overlooking St Michael’s Mount. Several years have passed and we’ve learnt a lot along the way, but we are proud of where we are today.
At our brewery perched between moor and sea, we combine technology with tradition to craft an ever-evolving range of beers. With the latest tech, eco-friendly investments, and a spotless cleaning regime, we’ve created a much-loved local brewery with potential to grow in exciting ways.

On tap at the Crown, Penzance on 24th December 2025. Hazy amber with shallow whitish foam and full lacing. Grassy hoppiness in aroma. Grapefruit citrus in-mouth with peel and just the suggestion of salt. A bitter, grassy citrus hop finish. Light body and a crisp mouthfeel.

Cask@The Waterfront Bar & Restaurant, Streatham, London - Gold pour with healthy white head. Fruity and zesty both in aroma and taste. Floral and herbal nuances and nice malt character. Refreshing with medium bitter finish. Nice

Cask @ The Crown, Penzance. Clear reddish dark golden body with a small, lacing white head. Mild, smooth aroma with malt, caramel and a bit floral. Flavor is smooth, mild malty, some caramel and moderate bitterness. Not much fruitiness. Quite smooth and easy drinkable but I don’t taste much of the IPA here. OK but not great.

Bottle. Slightly unclear dark golden body with a small, lacing tan head. Mild aroma, malt and caramel. Flavor is medium sweet mild malt, not much roasted, hint of caramel and some vanilla in the aftertaste. Medium body and short aftertaste. Not much of a porter, a rather indeterminable beer in my book

Cask @ The Crown, Penzance. This one might not be served at the best condition maybe, anyway this was just tasting like a generic beer, very plain and just some malt and some bitterness without any distinct aroma or flavor. Boring.
