© Campaign for Real Ale (Plymouth Branch) 2008

There are currently only 2 breweries in production in the Plymouth CAMRA area, Dartmoor and Summerskills.

The Dartmoor Union brewery, situated at the Dartmoor Union, Holbeton has produced beer occasionally since its installation a couple of years ago and is currently producing beer only for sale on site.

The brewery at The College of Further Education has laid dorment since the untimely death of the brewer, Roger Pengelly.

The Sutton Brewery relocated to Stokenham in 2004 and was renamed South Hams 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..
