One of Cornwall's newest breweries, Lizard started full-time brewing in late 2004 from premises in St. Keverne on the Lizard peninsula.
The style of beer which is nowadays called India Pale Ale was developed in the 19th century when brewers discovered two things – first that ships carrying materials to England from India were often sailing back empty, making the carriage from England to India cheap; and second, that hops were a natural preservative. So India Pale Ales were developed: bottled beers brewed strong and with lots of hops, allowing them to survive the long hot trip to India. Our Frenchman’s Creek is a modern-day version – 4.8%, pale tan in colour and brewed with bucketfuls BREWED IN ST KEVERNE.CORNWALL
