Devon’s award-winning Salcombe Brewery Co is celebrating a double win for its Island Street Porter.
The company won gold in the porter category at the 2023 World Beer Awards and was named overall ‘Country Winner’.
Jordan Mace, Salcombe Brewery’s managing director, said: “We are thrilled with these new accolades for Island Street Porter, which has already won a Gold Award from SIBA and a Champion Beer Award from Taste of the West.
“Its burgeoning trophy cabinet is testament to the brew team’s hard work, creativity and focus on quality. Not only have they created a beer that has beaten off competition from across the globe to achieve a gold award but, it has also been recognised as the best of its kind in the country.”

Salcombe Brewery Co. produces a range of premium cask ale and keg products at its Estuary View brewery which located in the Devon countryside above Salcombe Estuary.
Island Street Porter (ABV 5.9%) is described as a carefully crafted, velvety, delicately bitter porter with just a hint of sweetness. Eight different malts combine to suggest dark chocolate, coffee and black cherry, while the aroma “pleasingly suggests Black Forest gateau”.
The World Beer Awards recognise the very best beers from across the globe. Salcombe Brewery’s range of beers is available nationwide in pubs and hospitality venues as well as retail outlets and online.
To support its innovation and rapid growth, Salcombe Brewery Co. recently invested in an additional site in South Devon which now houses its own bespoke bottling and canning plant.
