Palmers Brewery

Palmers Brewery Independent brewery based in Bridport with more than 50 pubs in the glorious South West of England. Palmers: Brewing finest ales since 1794.
(293)

In 1794, Dorset rope and net makers the Gundry family built a brewery on the banks of the River Brit in Bridport. In the late 19th century, two Palmer brothers – John Cleeves and Robert Henry – bought the operation and its pubs and gave it their names: JC & RH Palmer. Today, their great grandsons John and Cleeves Palmer work in the company and Palmers Brewery remains among the best of small indepe

ndent brewers. The original Old Brewery - famous as the only thatched brewery in Britain - is where the beer is still brewed to traditional methods with the finest ingredients. Palmers' pubs include some of the best-known and best-loved in the South West and are found in pretty country villages, deep in Hardy Country and on the World Heritage Jurassic Coast. A brewery tour of Palmers historic brewery buildings allows visitors to see each stage of the brewing process and taste the Palmers five fine draught ales:
