Palmer’s Brewery

Our 7th Brewery of the Day for National Cask Ale Week 2024 is Palmers Brewery.

Palmers Brewery‘s ales are brewed in one of Britain’s oldest and prettiest breweries and have been since 1794. The only thatched brewery in the UK, Palmers sits adjacent to the river Brit just a mile from Dorset’s Jurassic Coast. All their fine ales are brewed using water from their own naturally rising spring.

Their Head Brewer uses only the finest Maris Otter malt and carefully selected whole leaf hops to produce ales in a way they have been made for generations. The Palmers historic brewhouse has a traditional mash tun, an open top copper, along with top fermentation, this is the way ale should be brewed.

This year, Palmers Brewery celebrated 230 years of brewing in Bridport. They launched their 230th Anniversary ale to coincide with Cask Ale Week 2024. Their 230th Anniversary Ale Trail can be found on CaskFinder.
