Store Biography

Keltek Brewery’s story began with a spark of passion and a dedication to traditional brewing methods. Founded in the quaint Cornish town of Lostwithiel, Keltek’s roots are deeply tied to its founder, Stuart Heath, who turned his homebrewing hobby into a remarkable success story.

Stuart started Keltek with nothing more than a small-scale brewing setup and an ambition to create outstanding beers. He took the plunge, moved to a larger premises, and began brewing on a commercial scale. That determination and love for the craft set the foundation for Keltek’s journey to becoming one of Cornwall’s most recognized breweries.

Today, Keltek operates with the same passion and attention to detail that started it all, crafting beers that have gone on to win numerous awards. Notably, our Pilot Gig dark ale was crowned Taste of the West Champion Beer 2024, alongside a rich history of accolades for favorites like Beheaded and Grim Reaper.

Stuart’s vision lives on in every pint, embodying his belief in brewing with heart, tradition, and a little bit of Cornish magic. From its beginnings in Lostwithiel to being celebrated across the UK, Keltek Brewery is a testament to the power of passion and craftsmanship.
