St Austell Brewery

Pints Dodged Death's Grip!

About St Austell Brewery

Back when St Austell’s rivers ran dodgy—cholera lurking in every gulp—pints were your mate. Since 1851, this brewery’s been boiling water into proper job ale, keeping sailors, miners, and clay-haulers alive. No doctor’s note needed; a Tribute at Seven Stars did the trick, with gulls cackling at the port’s bustle.

Today, those vats still hum. Nip to Rashleigh Arms, where locals spin yarns of great-grandads dodging excise men, or wander Fowey’s quays—beer’s ghost lingers. Mevagissey’s nets flop close by, tying hops to tides. Got a brewery tale—spilt pint, maybe? Share it on our contact page—your bit joins South Cornwall’s weave.

Weather’s fickle—check below, rain’s no laugh in a pub dash. St Austell Brewery ain’t just beer; it’s life, poured at The Holmbush’s bar.
