About
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.

330ml bottle from the Eden Project gift shop. Hazed orange appearance, fast receding head. Tame floral orange character, alongside a watery thin body, more of a wheat / hefe element would be welcome. Also, first time I've seen a beer paired with a vienese whirl, and why not?
