Since Walter Hicks founded it in 1851, St Austell Brewery has brewed award-winning beers and run many of our region's most popular pubs. Today as you walk through any Cornish town or village you are likely to find a St Austell Brewery pub at the heart of the community.

The Brewery's popularity and continued success owes much to the independent, family-owned firm's commitment to quality in everything it does. This is seen in the well cared for pubs, the fresh, local food and drinks the pubs serve and the friendly welcome you can expect as you walk in the door. Today there are over 160 St Austell Brewery owned pubs, inns and hotels across Devon and Cornwall, each unique in their look and feel, reflecting the communities they serve and the people who work there but all sharing St Austell Brewery's commitment to serving excellent Cornish beers and local food, with a smile.

Use our handy pubfinder to locate a pub, a walk or a combination of the two.

Tribute · 4.2% abv
Tribute is a favourite throughout Cornwall and Devon, and is growing in popularity as a guest ale in other parts of the UK. Brewed using traditional Cornish ingredients wherever possible, including specially-grown Cornish Gold Malt, Tribute is Cornish ale at its best. It can be enjoyed on its own or as an accompaniment to a meal and is best suited to chicken, gammon or fish - good enough to rival any fine white wine.

Roger Protz, Editor of the Good Beer guide, recently reviewed Tribute. "Tribute is a magnificent example of a bronze-coloured English bitter, with a rich aroma of biscuity malt and tart citrus fruit from the Willemette hops. Juicy malt, hop resins and tangy fruit coat the tongue, while the finish is long and lingering, with a fine balance between malt, hops and fruit, finally becoming dry and bitter".
