Welcome to Dartmoor Brewery – home of the world famous Jail Ale.

Situated in the very heart of Dartmoor National Park at 1400 feet above sea level we are the highest brewery in England and we believe the best!

We can be summed up in three words - 'passionate about brewing'. Our mission is to consistently brew top quality cask conditioned real ale.

Brewing started in 1994 in a converted garage behind the Prince of Wales pub in the centre of Princetown. We soon demonstrated that there was an unsatisfied demand for the taste of real ale. By never compromising on quality and using the skills of master brewer Simon Loveless, we have expanded year upon year.

Remaining family owned to this day, and now brewing from a purpose built brewery on the site of the old Princetown Railway, our brands are becoming more popular than ever.

Surrounded by beautiful moorland in the very centre of a national park, you may consider us highly privileged and lucky to be doing what we enjoy doing more than anything else - brewing and sampling what we think is Britain's best beer.

Please browse the rest of our website for more information about our award winning ales.
