Coastal Brewery in Redruth is up for sale after owner and head brewer, Alan Hinde, and his family decided the time was right to move back to Cheshire.
Coastal Brewery was established in 2005, moving to bigger premises on Redruth’s Cardrew Industrial Estate in 2009. Alan brews a number of core beers, including the popular Hop Monster and Angelina golden ales, and darker beers, such as Merry Maidens Mild and St Piran’s Porter, as well as a number of seasonal and special throughout the year.
He said: “We’ve had a great time for 12 years, building up the business, and winning a number of CAMRA and SIBA awards along the way.
“Merry Maidens Mild and golden ale Poseidon have been particularly popular with beer judges.
“For family reasons, though, we’re heading back to Cheshire, where we came from in 2005.”
He added: “I’ll miss brewing, of course, but the business is in good shape, with a large and loyal customer base – mostly outside of Cornwall – and a convenient site, close to the A30, with good transport connections.”
