Braslou
Bière
Inexplicably in North Cornwall.
About Us
The Infamous Braslou Bière. Born in a barn in Central France in 2016, exactly like Jesus, Braslou Bière reigned for a short time as the finest brewery in Western Braslou (pop. 334).
Now, the brewery that brought you offensive slogans, wildly inconsistent beers (both the highs and lows of which have yet to be equalled), and just a generally disappointing attitude has landed in North Cornwall like a crashed bird and we are making beer here and nobody really understands why. And yet here we are.
Find our unbelievable beer café at Hawksfield Artisan Village, A39, just outside Wadebridge, perpetually waist deep in catastrophe and see why you need to drink the beer that launched a thousand something or others. I’ve run out of steam.
Read all about how we ended up in this mess with our new book Something Brewing in Cornwall, available from all good bookshops and indeed our web shop.
Nos Bières
Brewed in North Cornwall, by way of a barn in the Loire. Every one of them is, according to the man who makes them, his personal favourite.
A lager in name, but brewed with saffron which enriches the beer, gives it a new dimension and really turns it into a whole new beer style. Another first for Braslou Bière. Other breweries will follow. Remember who did it first. My favourite.
It’s bitter. It’s red. It tastes a bit of orange. Nobody has done anything like this before. It’s kinda like a west coast fused with jazz and hip hop. I am the best. My personal favourite.
Born in a dirty barn in Braslou, Berger Blonde is an evolution of the Belgian blonde beer. This beer will crush your dreams of being an accountant. Definitely my favourite beer.
The Books
Tommy Barnes has written the whole shambles down. Twice, so far, with a third threatened. Two of them were short-listed for the Fortnum & Mason food and drink award, and all of them are available from any bookshop with a sense of self worth.
The new one
How we ended up in Cornwall and everything that went wrong in the process and continues to go wrong. It’s funny (if it’s not happening to you).

Book one
A story of one family’s ludicrous attempt to escape the rat race and move to French wine country to brew beer, despite not knowing how to brew beer. Disaster follows calamity follows catastrophe as Tommy Barnes ploughs ahead with what was at best an ill-conceived idea in an attempt to feed his family.
Muswell PressBook two
The second part of the trilogy. Although I haven’t yet finished the third, so it’s really a potential trilogy. The brewery has been established. Tommy is far too pleased with himself. A second child is on its way and, as Tommy smugly points out to everyone who will listen, the second child is always easier than the first. Yep, Tommy is on easy street. Surely nothing could go wrong could it? Oh wait, no, it could go wrong. It could all go so, so wrong.
