Situated within a twenty mile radius of Dark Farm are numerous distilleries, vine yards and breweries. So if you are interested in some artisan tipples these are defiantly worth the trip, just don’t be the designated driver.
Salcombe Brewery Co
Our new state of the art, innovative brewery sits amongst the Devon countryside looking towards the Salcombe Ria. The brewhouse is a unique concept built on the site of a decommissioned water reservoir. This utilises the natural ambient temperature of the underground facility for storing our ales at perfect conditioning temperature. Along with the upcoming installation of solar cells this helps make our brewery as energy efficient as possible. The site also has its own borehole which has recently started supplying the brewery with its own source of pure Devonian waters perfect for ale brewing.
