Lyme Regis Brewery
This award-winning brewery that produces some of the best beers south side of the UK is largely responsible for the beer festival. Located at the Town Mill over at the Lyme Regis’s Artisan Quarter, you can take the al fresco seats on the cobbled street and spend some great time with family and friends. This is made even better with award winning beers such as the Revenge, Black Ven, and Cobb that are considered “Taste of The West.”
The brewery also sits at the only UNESCO protected heritage site in Britain. The brewery used to be called Town Mill Brewery before changing it to what it is now sometime in the spring of 2015. It helps the business as well as the festival that the brewery aims to serve only the types of beer that they would love to drink themselves. This ensures that only the best ones are brought out to customers.
