Black Bear Brewery

Check out these amazing sausages from the Crowcombe Estate. We proudly share our spent malt grain from the brewing process with the team at Crowcombe, and they feed their livestock with it.

We waste nothing, and we get to serve our customers superb produce like this.

Win, win!

P.S. Don't forget to wash it down with some Black Bear Brewery ale, and help us keep the process going.

Very proud of our Wivey collaboration with The Big Swim team, as they raise awareness and fight for action on water pollution in our own backyard.

They even got this excellent piece from ITV News this week! Give it a watch and a follow, and leave them some supportive comments.

Then maybe try Bear Goggles, our Easy IPA brewed especially to raise awareness for the campaign!

Amazing! Due to overwhelming demand, we're very pleased to say that we've decided to add Bear Goggles IPA to our permanent range. So it will now be available all the time, rather than just during the Summer!

Tom's donned the big brew hat, and he's getting a sweat on, making the next batch right now.

Thanks for the support everyone, looking forward to seeing a few of you at Wivey Show on Saturday!
