Me & My Team: Salcombe Brewery Salcombe Brewery has weathered the pandemic, has almost completed a £1m site and is poised to roll out a new canned pilsner this summer, head brewer Sam Beaman tells Food Manufacture.
I have always been interested in real ale, which I guess comes from my first real job: The Bridge Inn in Topsham. I worked there from when I was about 17. They always had six or eight cask beers from local breweries, so I got to learn a bit about beer.
I went to university in Exeter - a geography degree and continued to work there [The Bridge Inn], then went to work in wine mostly from the sales side, but learned how different wines were made and how that influenced flavour.
