Best of friends or best of enemies? When it comes down to Bluntrock Brewery and Braslou Bière in Cornwall, no-one’s too sure.

But when they are getting on, they produce a brew of Camping Beer, and the 2024 version is now pouring in their respective taprooms.

It’s a 6% ABV extra special bitter using fresh hops grown by Kevin Frances in his North Cornwall front garden.

It’s made up of a deep caramel biscuit malt base, and offers light grassy spice and a warming bitterness.

The Bluntrock taproom is at Unit 8 Pityme Industrial Estate, St Minver PL27 6NS. Braslou Bière is at Unit 6 Barnfields Business Park, St Issey PL27 7SE.
