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.

Bottle, backlog June 2018. Clear golden body under a small, thin white head that fades fast. Mild malty aroma with a fruity touch. Taste is medium sweet malty, slightly fruit without much bitterness. Quite plain, straight forward typical old school British bitter. Had one previously from cask @ The Crown, Penzance and remember it as fresher but did not take any notes then.

Panda at home, thanks to the Wingman, 27/06/21. Very lightly hazed orange golden with a decent white covering. Nose is mellow citric peel, grass, light floral trace, toasted grains, melon. Taste comprises orange zest, grass, grains, light astringecy, lemon tinged straw. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Fine ... certainly not the APA UT bills it as !
