Isle of Purbeck was established in 2003 by husband and wife team Jack and Pippa Lightbown. They brew at the Bankes Arms in Studland, Dorset, a National Trust inn dating back to the early 1800s that Jack's family ran before him. Brewery and pub in the same spot, which is a fine arrangement.
Isle of Purbeck Brewery launched its first beer, Fossil Fuel, with guidance from master brewer Dan Thomasson. They keep five core beers on the go: Fossil Fuel with its peppery hop aroma, the clean, refreshing Solar Power, and a smooth-malted Purbeck IPA among them, alongside Harry's Harvest Pale Ale and Studland Bay Wrecked. There are seasonal beers too, including a Winter Warmer mixed case. Everything's made by hand the traditional way, with live yeast and hand-balanced hops, barley and malt.
Free local delivery to most of the BH postcode area, with deliveries every Thursday and Friday; order early in the week to have it for the weekend. Collection from the brewery is usually available the following day, subject to stock.
