Apex Brewery

In 2009, Head Brewer, Alex Ferris started home brewing after an unfortunate experience being served beer from a pub which had not been looked after properly. Challenge accepted. The plan was to experiment with existing clone recipes of their favourite beers, for example, St Austell's Proper Job. Alex was given her first brewing equipment by their professional brewing mates. Many experimental pints later, and several Beer Academy courses, Braumeister equipment was purchased which enabled precision recipe planning and quality ales to be developed. Alex won 4th place in the London and South East Brewing Competition in April 2015 for Gargle Blaster (the IPA which became Stirling IPA). In July 2015 Apex Brewery gained its Beer Licence. Since then we've been serving local pubs: our local, The Mitre Inn, Sandford Orcas and The Digby Tap, Sherborne, and recently The Queen's Arms, Corton Denham. Alex was awarded the IBD's  General Certificate of Brewing in June 2018.
