PALMERS BREWERY

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 their fine ales are brewed using water from their own naturally rising spring. More importantly, Palmers also rent a number of excellent allotments just off Gundry Lane! https://palmersbrewery.com
