Lighterman 3.5% abv

THE EXETER BREWERY LIMITED

£2.9

Despite its low strength this ale is full of flavour and has character beyond its ABV. Medium golden amber in colour, it has a well balanced flavour with a great combination of hop malt. A great tasting session beer. Lighterman won Bronze at the SIBA Tuckers Maltings beer festival last year, in the Standard Bitters category. A great achievement for a low abv ale in a large category. Style: Full Flavour Session Ale Tasting Notes: Well balanced flavour with a great combination of hop malt Awards: Bronze in the Standard Bitters category at Tuckers Maltings/SIBA ale festival.

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as THE EXETER BREWERY LIMITED, number 06430161. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
Not established. Many companies file a statement rather than naming a controlling shareholder.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
