Breweries in South Devon

Currently there are 18 breweries based within our branch area and basic details about them all are provided below. Additionally, although Dartmoor Brewery lies geographically within Plymouth CAMRA's area, its current Brewery Liaison Officer (BLO) is a South Devon CAMRA member and hence it's also included.

It's CAMRA's policy to have a BLO, usually a CAMRA member from the local or adjacent branch, responsible for each brewery who feeds news and information about that brewery to other branch members and CAMRA HQ. Such information is available in the  CAMRA Good Beer Guide  published annually in September.

Bays Brewery began in March 2007 when Will Freeland, Mark Salmon and Peter Salmon joined forces and signed a lease on an old 5000 square foot steel fabrication unit in Paignton. The transformation began towards the end of March and by the middle of June, after some considerable construction and installation works, it was running its first brew through the 20 barrel brew plant. The first two brews, Best and Gold, were successfully launched into local pubs simultaneously in the first week in July.
With Will Freeland’s experience as the head brewer at Skinners Brewery in Truro for ten years, Bays Brewery was quickly able to establish an efficient and consistent brewing regime. Bottles were launched in August 2007, the brewery shop was opened in October 2007 and the third ale, Bays Breaker, was made available in November 2007.
Since then, Devon Dumpling and Topsail have been added to the portfolio, and some of the original brews have become adapted into seasonal ales.

Regular Beers: Available in cask and bottle

Bays Gold (ABV 4.3%) - A light golden ale with lemon citrus overtones

Bays Devon Dumpling (ABV 5.1%) – Strong golden beer, smooth with a balanced sweetness

Bays Topsail ( ABV 4%) – Well balanced, deep amber colour with a subtle sweetness.

Currently mothballed

In 1926, The Lion Brewery in the heart of Totnes ceased trading. At its peak, the successful brewery owned 26 pubs and employed many local people, with a famous stout beer in its portfolio. In 2013 a group of 3 local people established the New Lion Brewery which has quickly gained a great reputation for craft award winning beers.

The brewery’s business model focuses on 3 pillars – community, innovation and profitability. The community will help shape the company and, down the road, will have the opportunity to invest in it. The business will sit as one of many ‘Transition in Action’ businesses in the town. It will create employment, attract new visitors, generate revenue for other projects and potentially provide a return to local investors.

They are passionate about collaborative partnerships, with local makers, growers and emerging entrepreneurs.

Core Beers:
Mane Event (ABV 3.8%) - The complex 7-malt grist imparts a warm golden brown colour, this beer utilises U.S. hops to create a balanced and highly drinkable modern session bitter.  

Pandit (ABV 4.9%) - An aroma of citrusy and floral U.S. hop varieties is complemented on the palate by a well-defined, biscuity malt character.

Totnes Stout (ABV 3.8%) - Silky and smooth due to the addition of oats, this un-fined stout offers a great mouthfeel coupled with deep roasted and coffee notes.

The American Pale Ale bridges the gap between our Pale Ale and IPA. Expect a substantial citrus and mango hop punch backed up by a solid malt backbone. ABV:5.3%

The Stout
The Stout is very malt forward, and has a luscious smooth body courtesy of the flaked oats used in the mash. Rich deep flavours of Dark Chocolate and Coffee dominate, backed up by Tobacco and dark fruit notes. ABV: 5.4%

The Pale Ale
Light and sessionable, but still packed full of aromatic, fruity, citrusy hops. ABV: 4.2%

The IPA
Our Flagship, hop bomb American IPA. Expect massive flavours of citrus, tropical fruit and resin, supported by a substantial malt base with a bitter finish. ABV: 6.2%

The Double Stout
Uses twice the amount of roasted malt of The Stout. Big, bold flavours of bitter dark chocolate, roasted coffee and pungent dark fruit. Not for the faint of heart.
