Townshend Brewery

The 650 litre Townshend Brewery produces a variety of ales, lager and farmhouse cider. Tradition is the theme in recipe formulation and hearty malt flavours are balanced with characteristic hop tones.

Townshend Brewery - Brewers of Real Ale and Traditional Cider

All beer begins with the water source. The water used in all Townshend ales is over 25,000 years old, drawn from a 501m bore 4km away below the clay soil of the Moutere Valley.

It has always been a brewing truth that different water sources are better suited to different beer styles. The unique waters of Ireland, for example, are an intrinsic part of the brewing of stout just as the water of Munich is perfect for the creation of the light coloured lagers that the region is famous for.

At Townshend we’re no exception. Our water, because of it’s mineral salt composition, has been found to prefer enabling darker malts and is perfect for our range of traditional real ales.
