Sharp’s Brewing Co: Your Next Stop for Unique Beer Tasting Experiences in Cornwall

Looking for a truly unforgettable experience in Cornwall? Sharp’s Brewing Co, based in the picturesque village of Rock, is celebrating its 30th year in style with two incredible new beer experiences that are sure to tantalise your taste buds and elevate your visit to this renowned brewery.

Craftsmanship Meets Flavour: The Beer Flight Experience

Sharp’s has partnered with Newquay-based artisans Good Grain Ltd to create beautifully handcrafted wooden beer paddles, making their new beer flight experience as visually stunning as it is delicious.

Each paddle, lovingly made from sustainably sourced wood by Jamie Johnstone and his team, holds three half-pint glasses filled with your choice of Sharp’s award-winning beers, refreshing ciders, or non-alcoholic options. Whether you’re a fan of crisp lagers, rich ales, or a curious first-time taster, you can mix and match to build your perfect flight.

Jamie expressed his excitement about the collaboration:
“We’re delighted to be collaborating with Sharp’s Brewing Co and are really pleased with the creative design of the flight paddles. We take pride in crafting a truly bespoke product, and this one delivers a really fun way for visitors to savour and enjoy their favourite beers or ciders. We’re sure they will add a splash of vibrancy to the overall tasting experience.”

Available Monday to Saturday from 11am to 5:30pm, this affordable luxury is priced between £6 and £8 per person, with participants also receiving a 10% discount on shop purchases.

The Secret Bar: A Hidden Gem for Beer Lovers

If you’re seeking a unique and immersive experience, Sharp’s Secret Bar is not to be missed. Tucked away at the brewery, this purpose-built speakeasy offers an intimate journey into the world of beer.

During the one-hour session, guests will:

• Discover the fascinating history of beer and ale.
• Learn expert tips on how to taste beer like a pro.
• Get an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the brewing process at Sharp’s HQ.
• Taste some amazing beer!

Sam Lyne, hospitality and retail manager at Sharp’s, shared the brewery’s passion for creating unforgettable experiences:
“We love hosting beer and cider drinkers here at the brewery, and people come from far and wide to see where their favourite brews are created. This is such an honour, and we want to give these dedicated visitors an ultimate experience and vital insight into our products and what we do here day to day.”

Sessions run three times daily on selected days, with summer evening slots from April to October. For just £20 per person, you’ll also take home a Sharp’s glass as a keepsake of your visit. With a maximum capacity of only eight guests per session, booking is essential to secure your spot. Call the Sharp’s shop on 01208 864885 to reserve your place.
