Powderkeg- Free‑Thinking Devon Craft Beer • Award‑Winning • Gluten‑Free • Vegan

Powderkeg is one of Devon’s most forward‑thinking craft breweries, creating award‑winning, sessionable beers with a unique blend of curiosity, creativity and defiance. Established in 2015 by husband‑and‑wife team John and Jess Magill, the brewery combines new‑world hops, modern techniques and classic European styles to create fresh, flavour‑driven beers that are accessible to everyone.

Based in Woodbury Salterton, Powderkeg produces a range of pilsners, pale ales, lagers, low‑alcohol beers and seasonal specials across keg, cask and can — all gluten‑free and vegan for maximum inclusivity. Their philosophy of “free‑thinking beer” is rooted in breaking conventions, refining styles and putting flavour, drinkability and quality front and centre.

Powderkeg’s commitment to excellence has earned it significant national and international recognition. Major accolades include:

Great Taste 3‑Star Award for Speak Easy, placing it in the top 1% of over 12,000 entries.
UK’s Best Premium Lager for Cut Loose, plus a World Beer Awards bronze.
UK’s Best Low‑Alcohol Pale Ale for Green Light.

Their beers — from the vibrant Speak Easy pale ale to the crisp, New Zealand‑hopped Cut Loose pilsner — are crafted to be easy‑drinking yet full of character, appealing equally to craft beer fans and casual drinkers.

Powderkeg is also committed to sustainability. The brewery champions cans for their lighter footprint and endless recyclability, while advocating for keg beer as a consistent, quality‑led way to serve local brews.

As a proud member of Devon’s thriving food and drink scene, Powderkeg encourages people to “support independent producers” and discover the outstanding local beer being brewed right on their doorstep.
