Dartmoor Brewery

Founded in 1994 at the back of the Prince of Wales in Princetown and moved into a purpose-built brewhouse on Station Road in 2005, Dartmoor Brewery calls itself the highest brewery in England — 1,465 feet up, by its own measure — and brews Jail Ale, the moor's ubiquitous 4.8% best bitter, with Legend, Dartmoor IPA and Dragon's Breath behind it. It is run by the same Devon family interests as the Two Bridges and Bedford hotels — Two Bridges calls Dartmoor 'the hotel's own brewery' — and their bars pour the beer a few miles across the moor. There is a brewery shop on site; tours are not currently offered, so the beer itself is the visit.
