 © Campaign for Real Ale (Plymouth Branch) 2008

There are now 4 breweries in production in the Plymouth CAMRA area, which are Dartmoor, Garage, Plymouth Beer Company and Summerskills.

The Dartmoor Union brewery , situated at the Dartmoor Union, Holbeton has produced beer occasionally since its installation a couple of years ago but the pub is now reported to be closed.

The brewery at The College of Further Education, which lay dormant following the untimely death of the brewer Roger Pengelly has now resumed production under the name "Plymouth Beer Company".

The Garage Brewery is located in a garage across the road from the London Inn, Plympton.

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

CAMRA CELEBRATES 40 Years!

On March 16 2011 CAMRA, the Campaign for Real Ale, turned 40.

In celebration of CAMRA's 40th Birthday, we are on the hunt for the top 40 CAMRA Campaigners of all time.

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..
