The former Gibbs Mew and Hop Back brewer Simon Loveless opened the Princetown Brewery in 1994 at the rear of the Prince of Wales pub. Originally a four barrel brewery it soon expanded to fifteen barrels.
The brewery was officially opened by Prince Charles a couple of years after brewing commenced. In 2005 it moved to a new purpose built brewery on the site of the old Princetown railway.
Capacity of the new plant is 30 barrels providing the potential to brew a staggering 180 barrels a week.
In 2008 it was renamed as Dartmoor Brewery.

What is Real Ale?
Real ale is beer brewed from traditional ingredients, matured by secondary fermentation in the container from which it is dispensed, and served without the use of extraneous carbon dioxide. |
|
Real ale is also known as 'cask-conditioned beer', 'real cask ale', 'real beer' and 'naturally conditioned beer'. The term 'real ale' and the above definition were coined by CAMRA. Real ale comes in bottles too!. It is beer which continues to ferment, mature and condition within the bottle. It contains a visible amount of viable yeast cells together with sufficient fermentable sugars for this to take place..
