2025 was a great year for our Cornish craft beer

What a year 2025 has been, another big year for us as a brewery.

It's not easy, but our incredible team make it so much easier. That, alongside the support of you fine folks make it all worthwhile, plus a few cold beers along the way, because when you work in a brewery, you ought to right?

Here's a few highlights for us.

Sticky Toffee Pudding Stout, made in partnership with ASDA, and available on their shelves. It was a pleasure to work with their team to develop this beautiful beer.

Slipway IPA had a bit of a makeover, working with local artist Hazel McNab and illustrator Ali of Handsforfeet to redesign the can for everyone's favourite hazy IPA.

We had a trip to the Isles of Scilly to meet customers, develop Channel Hazy IPA with Tresco Estate and provided beers for the amazing low tide event. We love visiting and working with these magical islands. If you've never been, add it to your list for 2026.

Food festivals are a great place for us to get out of the brewery and meet other producers and customers. We had fun at St Ives Food Festival, Falmouth Food Festival, Newquay Food Festival and Penzance Food Festival, as well as enjoying our time at the institution that is the Royal Cornwall Show.

We also worked with the team at Tunes in the Dunes, providing beer at plenty of their festivals across Cornwall throughout the year. They are amazing events, with great music, and great beer. Obvs.

Here at the brewery, we hosted amazing events from the likes of Bang Bang Club and Cornwall Record Fairs, which are always a blast. We also teamed up with Down the Line Surf and Tom Lowe to host a surf film night, playing a new film called 'Let Me Live', about local legend Tom Lowe. The event was amazing, with the brewery filled with stoked folks enjoying a beer and a surf movie. We are looking forward to working with these legends again in 2026.

Our second rendition of the Festival of Food, Music and Beer was another amazing weekend, one filled with good music, good food and good beer. The weather gods were relatively kind to us again, and it's always a moment where we are reminded just how much of a community there is around the brewery here in West Cornwall. We'll go again next year.

When we aren't brewing beer you'll often find us in the water, doing our best to catch a few waves. We supported a couple of great local surfing events again this year. The Smooth Movers event is pone for lovers of alternative surf craft and is a fabulous event in the surf calendar. Relaxed vibes, relaxed surfing and a decent crowd for a party. Gwithian Academy of Surf's No Pro comp is another great one for celebrating local surfers. The event was blessed with great waves, with both groms and grown ups being tested in the water. 

Finally, we went national in Sainsbury's with Mean As. A real moment for us, seeing the fruits of our labour pay off and our beer being available in 400+ stores across the country.

Thanks again for your unwavering support.

And your patience reading all this.

See you in 2026 for more of the same.
