• • Dorset Brewing Company was founded in 1996, when Giles Smeath restored an 800-year-old brewing tradition to the Dorset port of Weymouth in the heart of the World Heritage Coastline (the Jurassic Coast).

• • Shroton Fair Gin Inspired by a Royal Bengal Tiger once exhibited at the Shroton Fair in 1767, our craft Gin pays homage to the Fair itself, a piece of Dorset heritage for over 700 years which has since passed out of collective memory.

• Noddy’s Cider started life around 9 years ago in Weymouth. They would use apples from their local trees and turn them into cider. Very soon they ran out of garden space and had to move to the beautiful hamlet of Nether Cerne, where they had a lot more space to press apples and make cider. All their cider is hand-made from real cider apples (never apple juice concentrate) from an orchard just 7 miles away from Nether Cerne.
