Member Overview
Award‑Winning Devon Beers Crafted Above the Salcombe Estuary
Salcombe Brewery Co is an award‑winning independent brewery based near Kingsbridge in South Devon, overlooking the Salcombe–Kingsbridge Estuary. Founded in 2016, the brewery has quickly become one of Devon’s most recognisable beer producers, crafting a wide range of consistently high‑quality beers inspired by the coast, countryside and lifestyle of South Devon.
A Brewery Defined by Place
Salcombe Brewery’s Estuary View Brewery sits in a striking location above the ria, with sweeping views across the rolling South Devon landscape. The brewhouse is built on the site of a decommissioned water reservoir, which naturally maintains ideal storage temperatures and contributes to the brewery’s energy‑efficient approach. The site also benefits from its own borehole, supplying a dedicated source of Devon water.
A Diverse Range of Beers
Salcombe Brewery produces a broad portfolio designed to suit every occasion, spanning traditional styles and modern craft expressions. Its ranges include:
- Heritage Range – classic British cask and bottled ales
- Discovery Range – keg and can beers for the curious craft drinker
- Small Batch Series – limited‑edition seasonal releases
Well‑known beers include Salcombe Pale Ale, Salcombe Gold, Shingle Bay, Seahorse, Devon Amber and Breeze Lager, all brewed with consistency and drinkability at their core.
Sustainability & Local Responsibility
Sustainability runs through Salcombe Brewery’s operations. The business is committed to reducing environmental impact through:
- Energy‑efficient brewing and storage
- Plastic‑free packaging
- Responsible sourcing and waste reduction
Salcombe Brewery also supports local and national causes. Notably, it partners with The Seahorse Trust, donating a contribution from every bottle of Seahorse sold to help protect the rare native seahorses found in the Salcombe Estuary. The brewery has also supported the RNLI through its Lifesaver beer.
Visitor Experiences & Brewery Tours
Salcombe Brewery Co welcomes visitors year‑round. The on‑site Brewery Shop stocks the full range of beers in bottle, can and bag‑in‑box formats, alongside merchandise and gift packs.
Brewery tours offer an immersive experience, typically including:
- A welcome drink in the taproom
- Guided tour of the brewhouse with a brewer
- Beer tastings and Q&A
Tours operate seasonally, with advance booking recommended, and have helped establish Salcombe Brewery as a popular visitor destination in South Devon.
Tap House in Salcombe
Expanding its hospitality offering, Salcombe Brewery Co recently opened a Tap House on Island Street in Salcombe, bringing its beers into a relaxed waterside setting. The venue showcases the brewery’s full range, alongside locally sourced food, wines, spirits and soft drinks, with an on‑site brew house adding to the immersive experience. The Tap House is family‑ and dog‑friendly, reinforcing the brand’s inclusive, coastal ethos.
Quality and consistency have earned Salcombe Brewery more than 30 national and regional awards, positioning it as one of Devon’s most respected modern breweries. Its beers are widely stocked across the South West and beyond, as well as sold directly online and from the brewery.
