Exeter Brewery Avocet Pale Ale

This golden ale's a proper Devon staple. It's got a light citrus kick, a bit of spice - just a really well-made, organic beer. No wonder it's so popular. It's not a heavy sort of drink, so it's brilliant with something light like a salad on a warm day. Works a treat with a barbecue too, lets those smoky flavours shine through.

Exeter Brewery is a Devon success story without the fuss. Tucked away on the fringes of Exeter, amidst the reeds of the Exminster Marshes is where , they started back in 2003. They've been quietly brewing award-winning ales ever since. Their journey mirrors the craft beer movement itself - starting small with a classic copper ale, the 'Ferryman', and evolving with the times with their citrusy 'Avocet', Devon's first organic real ale. A move to a new city-centre brewery in 2013 cemented their place as the beating heart of Exeter's brewing scene. So next time you're in Devon's capital, seek them out - you won't be disappointed
