## About

In March 2008, after 9 months of converting our garage, a long held ambition of mine was realised with the opening of our very own Ship Inn Brewery. We were very fortunate to secure the excellent services of brewer Michael Hegarty and our initial brews of Ship Hop Ale, Sandcastles at Dawn and Dolly Day Dream were very well received.
indoors4 years on and the brewery has moved from strength to strength. The pub is now self sufficient in real ale, with beer brewed on the premises and rolled a mere 10ft from brewery to cellar. The word local has come to mean just that, and with no deliveries from other brewers we have significantly reduced our carbon footprint.
We are very lucky to have Michael as our brewer, his flair and creativity gives us beautifully balanced and innovative beers. The brewery now produces 20 well acclaimed beers ranging from Dolly Daydream, a premium bitter, to Sea Coal, a dark wheat beer.
NewtonFrom December 10th 2010 we began to bottle all of our beers which are available exclusively from The Ship.
