Skinner's is a British brewery founded in 1997 by Steve Skinner in Truro, Cornwall, England.[2]
The company produces cask ales and bottled beers, the names of which often come from Cornish folklore.[3] Several ales have a connection to surfing culture, such as Skin Dog Cornish lager, which is named after the owner's son, Ben "Skindog" Skinner who is a surfer. Several beers have won Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) and SIBA awards.[4] The company's pub, the Skinner's Ale House in Newquay, was sold, and is now called Leadbelly's.[5] Skinners' new pub, The Old Ale House in Truro, serves their own ales, regular guest beers and ciders.
In 2010–11, the company closed two of its sites at Chacewater and Devoran after purchasing a 10,000 sq ft (930 m2) site next to its headquarters for storage and distribution.[1]
On 30 September 2022, the company announced via social media that it would enter administration from 3 October 2022.[6]
