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.

A full on ESB, right then! Clear amber beer with a good bubbly pale tan head. A snappy fine minerally crisp palate, slightly dry. The malts deliver a crisp biscuity caramel. The Bramling Cross and Galena hops bring crisp cooling pine. Ripe plummy fruits, touch of esters. Whisper of dark berries on the back end. A bright crisp ESB and one I rather enjoyed. Could be a little more, you know, bitter but this is nicely done.
