South Hams Brewery brews at Stokeley Barton in Stokenham, on the South Devon coast above Start Bay. The business began as Sutton Brewing in Plymouth and moved to its present farm site in 2003; a taphouse stands next to the brewhouse. It is run by the Brooking family and trades together with its cider and soft drinks under the South Hams Drinks name. The range is built on cask ales such as Eddystone, Devon Pride and Wild Blonde, joined by the strong pale ale Sherman, a honey beer, a porter and a pilsner.

How we measure this

Two thresholds are at work here:

  • The signature list shows notes that recur in at least 6% of this brewery's beers. A low bar — enough to flag a pattern, not high enough to call it an exclusive trait.
  • The peer comparison below shows only notes where this brewery's coverage differs from similar breweries by at least 20 percentage points. A higher bar — enough to call a real difference, not a nudge.

A note can appear on the signature list without appearing in the peer comparison: it recurs here, but similar breweries do the same thing.
