1979

Cotleigh Brewery

Cotleigh Brewery began life in Devon in 1979, in the old stable block of Cotleigh Farmhouse at Washfield near Tiverton. The original operation started as a five-barrel brewing plant, with Tawny being the first brew, and it has since remained one of the most popular beers in the South West. The immediate success saw Cotleigh move to the historic brewing town of Wiveliscombe, where they successfully brewed multiple award-winning beers until they closed their doors in 2021.

1982

RCH Brewery

RCH Brewery started brewing beer for the Royal Clarence Hotel in Burnham-on-sea. Two years later, it was taken over, and the beers became widely available to the free trade. The popularity of the beers saw RCH move to new premises, an old cider mill, in Western-Super-Mare.

2017

Pitchfork Brewery

RCH closed in 2017 and relaunched as Pitchfork Brewery. They continued to brew RCH's most popular beers, Pitchfork Ale, Old Slug Porter, Santa Fe and East Street Cream but expanded into Craft Beers.

2022

Nuttycombe Brewery Ltd.

2021 saw the closure of Cotleigh Brewery. Ross Nuttycombe, publican of the Star Inn in Watchet, purchased the Brewery and Nuttycombe Brewing Ltd was born, launching new Nuttycombe beers and reintroducing the much loved Cotleigh beers back into the trade.

Traditional Craft Brewery

Traditional Craft Brewery

Nuttycombe proudly owns three exceptional brands, paying tribute to the original craft brewery of the first Cotleigh beers in 1979. Using traditional hands-on brewing methods, we honour the rich history of craft beer.

Craft beer's captivating journey dates back thousands of years to ancient civilizations. In the late 20th century, the modern craft beer movement emerged as a response to industry homogenization. Small, independent breweries embraced experimentation, prioritizing flavour, variety, and local character.

At Nuttycombe, we continue this legacy, honouring craft beer's history through our exceptional brands. With a commitment to quality, innovation, and tradition, we contribute to the thriving craft beer landscape.
