Description
Tucked away in Dynamite Valley, under Ponsanooth’s viaduct, you’ll find one of Cornwall’s award-winning breweries of the same name – Dynamite Valley Brewery. Yep, that’s us!
The venture started life as a micro-brewery based in a porta-cabin close to Falmouth. Now in its sixth year, the brewery occupies two units at the Viaduct Works. Last year we received no less than five prestigious awards for our Cornish ales available in cask and our individually hand-wrapped bottles.
We’re so proud of the beers that we’ve perfected over the years, that we get great satisfaction from sharing this taste of Cornwall with you.

500ml bottle paper wrapped. Drank at home after taking the Christmas decorations down, it's nearly 18:00 on 6th January 2026. Poured into a Batemans straight sided pint sleeve, it's a slightly hazed off golden body, wispy white head (beer out of date by 2 months). Decent enough Pale Ale, hoppy and nicely balanced, without trying to be clever.

Paper wrapped 500ml bottle, a gift from a friend. Drank at home on 14th June 2025 after the Midsummer Fayre. Clean and clear golden body, white crown. Caramel aroma and taste, this is a fairly sweet golden ale, the hops not giving any great bitterness, just a bit of balance.
