Great to see the team from FWAG SouthWest getting to visit our friends over at The Crowcombe Estate last week to celebrate their Somerset Otter Award win, and to learn more about how they carefully manage the land, livestock and wildlife within.

We're pleased to be able to supply the spent grains from our brewing process which feeds their pigs, which eventually feature on the menu, alongside our ales, at The Carew Arms and other Black Bear Group pubs.

Well done everyone!

Ollie Armitage Music sounding amazing as always!

Last day for Carewfest today, so if you haven't already, get yourself down to the The Carew Arms and soak up the vibes with a beer or cider.

Ales are running out, so if there's something specific you want to try, best get down from 12 noon.

Cheers, see you there!

Very pleased to announce our final ale and cider selection for this year's Carewfest!

We're proud to keep supporting local and we continue our policy of serving cask ale and real cider that has been brewed in Devon, Somerset or Cornwall.

It's going to be a fantastic weekend, starting on Friday through to Sunday, with great live music, fab food and huge selection of drinks - and best of all, NO ADMISSION CHARGE! - so we look forward to seeing you there!

It's going to be banging - so, bring your best moves, and positive vibes!
