The Award Winning Range of Skinner's Ales, Lager and Cider:

Come and meet all the Skinner's gang! Each ale, lager and cider is based on a figure in Cornish Folklore, or
has been specially produced to celebrate a Cornish event, person, place or organisation.

Skinner's fine produce has won a multitude of awards through the years, and all continue to be local
favourites wherever they are served. A true taste of Cornwall!

In August, Truro-based Skinners Brewery chalked up a Cornish first when its Betty Stogs won the Champion Best Bitter of Great Britain award in the 2008 Great British Beer Festival at Earl’s Court.

The happy sequel saw a party of Skinners representatives, including the real-life “Betty”, attend CAMRA’s annual awards lunch at Lord’s, the home of cricket. A framed commemorative certificate and gold rosette were presented to managing director Steve Skinner by CAMRA chair Paula Waters.  Mr.Skinner said he and all his colleagues were “fantastically honoured” to have their best-selling beer win such prestigious recognition. 

The Earl’s Court festival was a double triumph for Skinners, who’s Cornish Knocker Ale won bronze in the Golden Ale category. This and Betty Stogs had been competing against thousands of other beers from up and down the country.

“Now it’s time for the hard bit – doing as well again next year!” said Mr.Skinner “We have succeeded through rigidly adhering to our policy of brewing the best beer with the best quality raw materials, including Cornish barley, and that’s the way it will continue to be in 2009.
