Award-winning family brewer, St Austell Brewery, has today (Friday January 25) announced the purchase of The Real Beer Company. 

Founded in 2009 by Martin Breading and Chris Ham, The Real Beer Company is a Devon-based specialist drinks wholesale company providing an extensive selection of cask and bottled beers as well as keg and bottled ciders for pubs and bars. 

To kick off the New Year, award-winning craft Cornish ale expert, St Austell Brewery, has launched its 2013 programme of seasonal ales.

From traditional pale ales and warming winter brews, to light golden ales for spring and summer, the stellar line-up includes brand new brews and twists on the firm favourites.

We are proud to announce that The County Arms in Truro won the Retro-fit award in the 2012 Sustainable Construction category. The Accommodation wing at The County Arms Inn was designed and constructed by local firms to exacting environmental standards.  The aim of Cornwall Sustainability Awards is to encourage, reward and gain recognition for some of the excellent work businesses are doing to improve their sustainability.

Around 200 guests packed the Green Lawns Hotel in Falmouth to celebrate the awards 10th anniversary and the work businesses in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly are doing to improve their sustainability. 

Despite the downpours, revellers came in their droves to the 14^th Celtic Beer Festival at St Austell Brewery on Saturday (24^th November) and celebrated their way to raising more than £12,000 for the Brewery’s Charitable Trust. 

By 1pm, the Victorian wine cellars underneath Brewery were already full to capacity and a one-in-one-out system was in place.
