About Us

According to legend, Spingo Ale has been brewed on the premises of the Blue Anchor Inn, Helston, Cornwall for approximately 600 years!

​

The Blue Anchor is one of only 4 original brew pubs left in the country still brewing today which continued to brew throughout and has the prestige of being Cornwall's oldest brewery.

​

Kim & Simon Stone, took over the Blue on July 23rd 1993, at the time there were only 3 Spingo Ales being continuously brewed;

​

Spingo Middle 5%,

Spingo Best 5.5%

Spingo Special 6.6%. 

 

During the last 27 years we have produced 4 more permanent Spingo Ales and with our son, Ben Stone,  as the head brewer, it is has truly become a family business.

​

Our business has expanded into Porthleven with the opening of our sister pub, Out of The Blue, of course selling our famous Cornish Spingo Ales, with caravan & camping facilities on the premises it makes for an idyllic setting for traveller's who want to get Spingo'd
