Bluntrock was born in Rock, Cornwall in 2021 when founders George Collins and Hugo Roads joined forces to bring their newly discovered obsession of quality-focused, US-style pale ales and IPAs to their local area. These beers were making waves in the national independent beer industry, but they couldn't find easy access to them in their little pocket of North Cornwall.

In late 2020 the pair sparked their idea at a clifftop bbq in North Cornwall, and not before long, a tiny brewery, taproom and beer garden had been built out of recycled yellow shipping containers! A creative, vibrant place for them to share their passion for fresh, diverse styles of beer.

Support from the local community grew the demand for Bluntrock beers, and out flowed countless pale ales, IPAs and other exciting, modern styles of beer. Soon after setting up, their tiny 150L brew kit reached full capacity, and since then the team have been doing their best to keep up with the demand from their Taproom alone.

After two and a half years of non-stop brewing and exploring countless recipes, in May 2024 the team opened the next chapter in their Bluntrock journey.

Between March 2023 and May 2024, the team were busy building a new, state-of-the-art brewery, just 600 metres from the original Bluntrock container brewery in Rock, Cornwall. Here, not only will they aim be to produce much more beer, but also to achieve new heights of innovation, quality and sustainability in their brewing techniques, along with doing their best to operate in the most inclusive and honest way possible.

The team commissioned the new brewery in early summer 2024, and since have been creating a diverse range of pale ales, lagers, cask beers and monthly specials. You can now find the freshest Bluntrock beers at the container Taproom in Rock, at select venues in Cornwall and around the UK, and also on our online store!
