Exmoor Ales is a microbrewery based in Wiveliscombe, Somerset, England. The brewery was previously called Golden Hill Brewery.[2] Exmoor Ales was founded in 1980 in the former Hancock's Brewery in Wiveliscombe. They produce 13,000 barrels annually. Of the beers they make, 85% are cask ales. Their Exmoor Gold beer was first brewed in 1986 to celebrate 1,000 beer being brewed. Exmoor Gold was the first golden ale in Britain.[3] In 2015, it was named Best Britain Golden Ale in Southwest England by CAMRA.[2]
