HISTORY

In the year 1851, Walter Hicks mortgaged his farm to set up a brewery business. 150 years later, St Austell Brewery is one of the largest employers in Cornwall, with an annual turnover of £90 million and 167 pubs throughout Devon and Cornwall, all offering a fine range of traditional St Austell cask ales. 
 
The pick of those ales is Tribute; born and brewed during the 1999 solar eclipse, it was originally named Daylight Robbery. The brew proved to be so popular it was renamed and is the now the Tribute ale you enjoy today. 
 
In 2007, Tribute was not only voted the South West’s favourite ale in the Daily Telegraph Best of British Awards, but it also became the proud sponsors of the RFU (Rugby Football Union)
leagues in Devon Cornwall and Somerset.
