Smugglers and Pioneers

Our first bottled beer – Tregonwell

We’ve launched our first bottled beer to sit alongside Yippee Kai Ale (our draught) at Jenkins & Sons, Urban Reef and Urban Beach Hotel. Tregonwell – the first in a series of bottled ales, each focused on a local smuggler or pioneer, has been produced with Beerd Brewery in Bristol – the development arm of Bath Ales, which develops small batches of quality ales.

Mark Cribb said: “In recent years Britain has fallen back in love with its real beer. There has been a huge growth in micro-breweries carrying the roasting of the hops and brewing techniques to add a great complexity and subtlety of flavour. We are passionate about introducing people to real beers, both ales and lagers, made by real people, not giant international corporate faceless brands. There’s better choice and bigger flavours now and we want people to discover this for themselves.”
