About St Austell Brewery Visitor Centre

A trip to St Austell Brewery’s Visitor Centre is a must for beer lovers. Most famous for its flagship beer, Tribute Pale Ale, the brewery’s range of award-winning beers (including Proper Job IPA and Korev lager) are available in pubs and supermarkets nationwide and exported across the world. 

Uncover the rich history of the independent family brewery, from its humble 19th-century beginnings to the pioneering and diverse business it is today. Interactive brewery tours put you at the heart of the creative process behind St Austell’s award-winning ales, while both the Hicks Bar and shop offer the chance to indulge in flagship and small batch brews, with some tasty food to boot. A fascinating day out throughout the year.

Discover our tasting tours

What Visitors Say

"This tour was well worth the money. Every one we spoke to was so professional and friendly. Our tour was with Dave who's knowledge of the brewery was brilliant. This was one of the best afternoon out in Cornwall. The bar staff at the Hicks bar were so helpful, really knew their beers and the brewery as well"
"We were a group of three who really enjoyed hearing about the science behind beer and ale making. Thoroughly enjoyed the tour and really recommend it as a great way to spend a couple of hours. We even got to sample most of the beers."
"A brilliant guide; knowledgeable, friendly and good humoured. An informative, enjoyable tour with a great tasting session at the end. Great value, highly recommended!"
