There are steep staircases and some low ceilings in the Victorian Brewery so the tour is not suitable for disabled visitors. However disabled visitors are welcome to come into the visitor centre shop and bar and have a look around the museum. Please call 01726 66022 to arrange access.
The St Austell Brewery Company Limited was founded in 1851 by Walter Hicks, who mortgaged his farm for £1,500 to set up his business in St Austell. In 2001, we celebrated our 150th Anniversary.
The company remains in private hands with numerous Walter Hicks' descendants involved as shareholders, employees and directors. We are one of the longest established of only a few independent family brewers left in the UK and are totally committed to continuing brewing and to retaining our independence.
We are one of the largest employers in Cornwall, where most of our 167 pubs and hotels are located. We have 17 in Devon and are expanding operations throughout the South West. Company employees currently run 34 pubs; the remainder are tenanted. In total, over 1,000 people work for the Brewery, which now has an annual turnover in excess of £90 million.
Our Walter Hicks Wine Merchants subsidiary supplies the licensed trade throughout the South West of England and has the only bonded warehouse in Cornwall.
