Exciting news in Exmoor!

Brewing is to make a welcome return to Wiveliscombe! 

Since Exmoor starting its collaboration with us back in May, all the iconic Exmoor beers have been carefully matched and brewed here in the brewhouse. But soon, some of the specials like Exmoor Beast and limited edition beers, will return to their spiritual home in “Wivey”!

The New Exmoor Brewery is moving to the site of the old Cotleigh Brewery in the town, where former Cotleigh head brewer, Shaun Vockins, will oversee brewing.

The first brew in scheduled in the new brewhouse in Wivey very soon and will be a celebration of a Wiveliscombe brewing tradition, a Tawny Ale, and 10p from every pint sold will go to the Jim Laker Charitable Trust, founded in memory of a Wivey legend, who originally owned Exmoor Ales.

More good news - Exmoor Tawny Ale will be coming to the Brewery Shop and Tap, and the brew team here in Tongham will continue to brew the award-winning core range of Exmoor beers for the time being, including Exmoor Gold, Exmoor Ale and Silver Stallion.
