South Hams Drinks

South Hams Drinks is a family-run business at Stokeley Farm near Kingsbridge, overlooking Start Bay, producing traditional cask ales alongside heritage cider, organic soft drinks and a run of mulled wines and ciders for the colder months. It started life as Sutton Brewing before moving to the present site in 2003, and has now been brewing for over twenty years - Mark, Sam and Olly Brooking have run the brewing between them, with Sam now leading day to day.

It's stayed properly family-run rather than growing into something corporate, and the drinks go out to more than 350 pubs, shops and outlets across Plymouth and South Devon, with wholesalers carrying it further afield. The cask ales sit alongside the cider and soft drinks range as the core of the business, brewed and blended on site at the farm rather than bought in - a small operation with a genuinely local footprint across the South Hams.
