Food pairing suggestions

Palmers 200 has bags of depth in flavour, and is assertive enough to stand up to similarly bold food matches. Sunday roast beef, smoked BBQ dishes, game and lively cheeses such as our local Blue Vinny help bring out the best in each other. For pudding, you can’t go far wrong with sticky toffee pudding and ginger toffee sauce.

A story of family, heritage, quality… and beer.

Palmers ales are brewed in one of Britain’s oldest and prettiest breweries and have been since 1794. The only thatched brewery in the UK, Palmers sits adjacent to the river Brit just a mile from Dorset’s Jurassic Coast. All our fine ales are brewed using water from our own naturally rising spring.

Our Head Brewer uses only the finest Maris Otter malt and carefully selected whole leaf hops to produce ales in a way they have been made for generations. Palmers historic brewhouse has a traditional Mash Tun, an open top Copper, along with top fermentation, this is the way ale should be brewed.
