Bar & Breweries

The Muddled Man Inn
Bar & Breweries we use
The Bar may be small but is very well stocked.
    As members of the British Institute of Innkeepers we pride ourselves on the quality of beers, wines and spirits that we keep.
We have been Cask Marque accredited for over18 years and have been in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide for the most of this time.
On our three hand pumps there is always something different for you to try; we use more than ten independent SIBA breweries, from Bay’s Brewery in Paignton, Devon to the west, Hop Back Brewery in Downton near Salisbury to the east, Goff's Brewery to the north, and from the south coast, the Dorset Brewing Company.  Yeovil Ales Brewery is less than six miles away, and most of the breweries we use qualify for CAMRA LocAle status.
Camra’s definition of LacAle is: The Sustainable Communities Act, which CAMRA strongly supports, provides a definition of ‘local’ as up to thirty miles from the point of sale. CAMRA recommends that the distance is calculated from the pub to the brewery and should be based on the shortest driving distance.
Cask Marque is a quality award scheme that we pay to be in, and is run by the brewers themselves to promote the quality of real ale by testing the temperature, flavour, aroma and clarity of the beer at least twice a year. All the assessors are head or senior brewers from member breweries who may arrive without notice at any time during opening hours. They take half a pint of beer from each real ale pump or barrel which they then test, and if you fall below the expected quality, your Cask Marque award can be taken away.
We also now have TARKA 4  a hand crafted Real Larger from Otter Ales along with their Cider made with the help of Aspall  Cider.
  We also have Award Winning Real Cider from our local cider producer just four miles away at Burrow Hill (They also do The Cider Brandy which we also have on the bar). We also have a cream-flow as well as tthree lagers  Tarka 4 , Backs Vier ( this is for those who have no taste buds), Stella Artois and  Guinness.
For those who like to indulge in a wee dram our large selection of malt whiskies is hard to beat.  You may not find Glen Morangie here, but you’ll find many others from the Highlands and Islands, and even some Lowland malts to whet your appetite.  If you know what you like, or want to try something a little different, then come and try it at the Muddled Man.

The Bar

WHAT IS CASK MARQUE?
Cask Marque was formed in 1998 to address the void in beer quality control, caused partly by the 1990 beer orders which forced breweries to sell their pubs or vice versa, and thus often their interest in the quality itself, resulting in a major concern for the industry.

It was set up by four breweries to drive up industry standards: Adnams, Greene King, Marston’s and Morlands, each providing Board members and guidance, as well as Paul Nunny, former Sales & Marketing Director at Adnams and Rupert Thompson who at the time was owner of Refresh UK.

Having reached its 20th anniversary, Cask Marque remains a non-profit making organisation with a Board made up of representatives from large and small breweries, pub companies and trade bodies, all engaged in continuing to drive beer quality in the following waysTo assess the beer quality in pubs and ensure standards are driven and maintained, our team of assessors visit the pubs in our scheme at least twice a year.

During the unannounced visit, the assessor checks all the cask ales on sale for temperature, taste, appearance and aroma.

All the beers must reach the required standard for the pub to pass and it then receives a plaque, framed certificate and merchandising material to inform its customers of the award and their rights.

The pub then appears on the CaskFinder app for those on the ‘World’s Biggest Ale Trail’ to visit.
