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.

Cask at the Crown Inn, Penzance. It pours clear deep brown with a decent white head. The nose is soft, sweet vanilla, chocolate, roasted malts and dark fruits. The taste is pretty bitter, roasted malts, dark fruits, plum, chocolate, charred wood, earth, vanilla and a touch of spice with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Flavoursome and moreish. Nice stuff.
