About
Lyme Regis Brewery is a small craft micro brewery based in the quaint courtyard of the historic Town Mill in Lyme Regis. We make many different styles of craft beer to suit all tastes. Our tap room also serves soft drinks, ciders, wine and other spirits. We run brew days where you can come in and watch the fun, smell the malt and hops and, of course, taste the beers. Sit with a pint of our beer in the Town Mill courtyard and drink in the atmosphere at this historic location. Visit the tap room and try a beer or 3 in our cosy upstairs nook, buy bottles, merch and gifts to take home, or enjoy the sunny, relaxing courtyard in the sunshine. We look forward to seeing you.

    Beer tasting on holiday and it was great
    Walked around the town of Lyme regis and literally stumbled off the track and found this little gem - the lady in the brewery guided us to several beers and we took them home and tasted as a group of 8 and an age range of 18 to 82 ! We picked “black ven”, “revenge”, “golden cap”, “rebellion” and scored The standout was golden cap ! But I loved the “revenge” - but the power of the team is in the decision making !! And they picked “golden cap” Maybe you can employ us as master tasters - 😜😜

    A fantastic micro brewery
    Superb high quality tap room and shop, wonderful range of beers, great merchandise if you want. Lovely people too. We took a box of beers home and will be looking at delivery options. Really outstanding - one the the very best micro breweries.

    Best brewery in Dorset
    Excellent beer Mike is an outstanding brewer and now brews 14 beers all by himself 💪🏾!! The tap regularly changes these beers on tap so there is always something new to try! The steady habits, in irons and pokers pool are my favourite if you like citra these are ur beers! I first found the brewery in lockdown and haven’t stopped going back! One of the coolest places to drink in Lyme with a beautiful Courtyard for a warm summers day that then twinkles with fairy lights at night! Cool atmosphere and a great hub to meet some of the locals!

    Fantastic tasting beer!
    Blumin’ ace beer! Served by funny but informative fellas. Amazing to see the original tiny stills in the “bar” but with the amount of volume they do they have moved production to a larger still off-site. I had the “Cold IPA”. Which was served cold. And on a 19 degree day it went down a treat! (The rhubarb cider was also more than excellent with a fantastic orangey colour but the brewery doesnt actually do the ciders…) we worth a visit and a few drunk… I mean drinks… hic… haha!

    Excellent beer, excellent staff
    I am so happy I did my research and head from the Lyme Regis Brewery on my first day in Lyme Regis. The beer was superb and the staff was so friendly, I felt straight away I was at my local pub!. Despite the place being always busy, I was recognised in my subsequent visits and they were fantastic also helping me with my presents to take away. If you don't like beer, the ciders are very nice too, and also they provide soft drinks. This is such a nice place to be that I can not recommend it strong enough. Next thing will be ordering beer on line!

    Great little Brewery
    A week in Lyme Regis - so a few visits to the brewery were had! The beers and ciders are all very tasty. The staff are friendly and efficient. The setting is lovely in the Mill courtyard. The sun was shining and the chat was good over a few pints. Well worth a visit.

    Really nice little micro brewery! Second time here, and I dare say I'll be back again. Great set up where you can see the brewing equipment, and they're making a great selection of delicious beers. Friendly staff, and a great location.

Cosy taproom, delicious beers and a great welcome
Nov 2023 • Couples
A cosy taproom, with a warm welcome and delicious beers, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Lots of choice, seats and a small upstairs area to relax in, music, merchandise to buy and a great back story to their brewing heritage. Over 2 hours or so, there was a great ebb, flow and changeover of visitors, locals, friends and all sorts - sampling the beers, discussing them with the bar team and just relaxing in a hidden away corner of Lyme Regis … make sure you search it out - if you like craft beer, you’ll LOVE this place.

Great cosy micro brewery
Nov 2023 • Friends
Great selection of beers available, something for everyone. Very cosy space in the nice mill area of Lyme Regis. Definitely worth a visit but not guaranteed a seat in busier times.

A lovely little cottage in an ideal location
Oct 2023 • Couples
This is indeed a very small property and that is part of its charm. It is extremely well equipped and every time you open a cupboard or drawer you discover something else that has been provided. It is well decorated and everything works. We were delighted with the welcome pack and free glass of sherry.

There is underfloor heating, an electric fire that looks like a log burner and radiators (we we never figured out how to use those).

A small private corridor (Smugglers Way) takes you directly to the sea front, so there is no need to move the car to explore any part of the town. Parking is in a private courtyard, a bit tricky if you have a very big car, but still possible.

Take a torch at night as the car park park is not lit and not a good idea to walk across it and down steps in the dark. I just unlocked my car from a distance using the remote key, which turns the light son and lit up the car park. The passage may not be lit either.

The shower is very small with low water pressure. If you are, to put it bluntly, fat, then its not for, you. But it kept is fresh and clean and that is all we required.

We thought it was great value for four nights out of season

Not the nicest tasting beer I've had...
Sep 2023 • Couples
I had the on tap Lyme Regis beer and it was just too citrusy for me sadly. The brewery is a micro one so it's very small and didn't feel very welcoming. There was upstairs seating which also looked like it turned into a cocktail bar which was a good looking spot. But I wouldn't recommend the local beer I'm afraid.
