The 10(ish) Westcountry beers my readers think you should try

Yesterday I posted 10 Westcountry beers I think you should try. Some of you agreed with me, some of you didn’t.

So as a way of furthering debate (and hopefully sales), here are some “crowd-sourced” suggestions from comments left on here, tweets and Facebook messages:

Much agree with these fine sips especially Proper Job. Couple I haven’t had. Try O’Hanlons Yellowhammer and Firefly Bitter– truly, madly slurpy! – Stephen Barrett via the Blog

What about some of the Red Rock Beers from Bishospteignton? Apparently excellent – @grazingkate via Twitter

Chalky’s Bite from Sharp’s – I’m a recent convert – @Growingownfood via Twitter

Beer – shocking you’ve missed Badger Brewery totally! 😦 – @chalknewton via Twitter

No Butcombe Bitter 😮 #shocking – @rupturedduck via Twitter


No Bays on the list either? Their Devon Dumpling is very good & I’ll also make a girly vote for Skinner’s Hunney Bunney@missbishops va Twitter

What? No Skinner’s?! – @mcguiredavid via Twitter

Anything by Sharp’s, St Austell, Otter, Dartmoor, SummerSkills. I just love a pint of Indiana’s Bones? – Nick Ingram via Facebook

  1. Have you heard of Arbor Ales? Brewed in the old Brains’ Faggots factory in Kingswood BS15 and on sale in the Old Stillage, Redfield BS5 and a couple of other outlets. Very yummy indeed. Some very light, crisp modern beers and deep, dark milds and stouts. Well worth a detour.
