- Cerne Abbas in Dorset had at one time 14 pubs for a population of only 1,160 why did they have so many and why do they now only have 3?
Brewing in Cerne Abbas has gone on since the 13th century but in those days the beer was very different to that of today. Recently a new craft brewery Cerne Abbas Brewery has opened up run by Vic and Jodie. Vic explains how the beer is brewed on a farm on the edge of the village using the water of the river Cerne.

I started brewing in 1973, and became a commercial brewer in 1988, all because I wanted to duplicate the beers of England and Europe. But nowadays I’m a bit jaded. Everyone keeps reinventing the wheel, and American beers are just a race to see who can brew the oddest, most outrageous, and hoppiest beer.
The same thing is going on in Europe too, if it's any consolation. Of course you still have the traditional brands, but there are innumerable micro breweries who all want to be special. I don't see it as a bad thing, necessarily, it's fun to try something new, but it is rare that I _return_ to any of those new ones.
@@itskarl7575 Thanks, yeah. My criterion for a good beer is one that makes me want a second one. That’s what I would always say when being interviewed, but the interviewers hated that answer. And that’s the thing with the proliferation of “weird” beers. Nothing wrong with them per se, but I don’t want another one. No session beers. And once you’ve drunk a very hoppy beer you’re not able to taste a different one.
@@davidhull1481 Yep, that's it exactly.
Excellent again always a joy watching Jack hargreaves. Thanks for sharing Dave
I'm a yank..And my bucket list includes visiting England/Ireland/Scotland before my days are over..pubs being first and foremost priority.. cheers and thank you
After Covid, and the huge increases in fuel prices, plus the rise in interest rates, you'd better visit them soon before they all disappear. 😥
Very interesting story of the Cerne Brewery. Must say, I thought this was the sort of film Jack would make as an insert for one of his programmes.
That's a compliment!
Thank you Nigel. I am so happy that you say that as my challenge is to produce programmes on subjects in Dorset and Hampshire that Jack would have chosen to do. It’s just a shame I don’t have Jacks skills of story telling though.
Yes, totally agree, I think Jack would approve of a truly local pint.
Thank you !
Glad you enjoyed the programme. It was very interesting to make and I learnt a lot about Cerne that I didn’t know even though I lived up the road in Godmanstone for a few years.
Fascinating. Massive thanks for sharing. A real pleasure to watch :)
Thank you for showing this.
Lovely to see some up to date, old fashioned Dorset life.
It is isn’t Andrew. I lived in Dorset for a number of years just up the road from Cerne and going back to make the programme made me homesick for Dorset.
@@DaveKnowlesFilmmaker We run MAD Mowers just up the road at Stockwood. So several times a year we are driving through Cerne to collect or drop off a mower. It is a very beautiful village. Maybe one day I will take time to visit as a tourist. Thanks again. looking forward to your next video.
@@AndrewDrapper I don't think I know Stockwood but Mad Mowers sounds interesting. I am filming button making this weekend in Sherborne but that will not be edited straight away as I want to do New Forest Toys next. This is about a factory in the new Forest that made wooden toys right up to the war. They were very popular and sold all over the world. The odd thing is hardly anyone has ever heard of them.
@@DaveKnowlesFilmmaker I look forward to the button video. My father lives in Sherborne so we will be there Sunday afternoon for our weekly coffee together. Stockwood is just a few miles up the A37 from Cerne Abbas and then Turn off towards Sherborne. Only 8 houses and the smallest church in Dorset.
Living in Germany as I do, I find it lovely to see local industry, local brewing still alive and well in Ole Blighty. Thanks Dave Knowles for posting this.
I am so pleased you enjoyed the programme I enjoyed making it. There are many more planned.
Thanks Dave,always a pleasure to watch your videos of Olde Britain .
Thank you I am so pleased you and so many others enjoyed it. It gives me the encouragement I need to make more so please keep watching.
Nice one I enjoyed that.
What a lovely job.
Thank you so pleased you enjoyed it.
Excellent. Good luck to the many people involved in this venture. ‘Local is what Local was.’
The brewery seems to be going very well. A lot of the beers are named after local people who lived and still live in Cerne which makes it really local.
Cracking job. Thanks. Be well and stay safe.
Thank you Robert. I have many more similar programmes planned so please keep watching.
Very good, thank you...
Thank you John.
I really enjoyed that and wish I could taste one of their beers. Its sometimes a real bugger living so far away in NZ.
Thank you for watching and I am so pleased you enjoyed the programme. My grandparents spent their lives going back and forth to New Zealand they loved the country. They would live their for a few years then come back live here for a few years and then off they would go again. I have distant relatives out in NZ but most are now very old or no longer with us. Do you have any ties with UK?
Thank you for the very enjoyable film. Made me miss England
Thank you Timothy I have many more planned so please keep watching and if you haven’t please subscribe.
I like the continuity and romance that is clearly a systemic part of brewing in Cerne. Thanks for posting.
Beautiful 🇬🇧
Thank you so pleased you enjoyed the programme.
Very nice to watch and learn, thanks
Thank you John. I also learnt a lot while making the programme.
Most farm houses in Dorset I days of yore had brewing sheds at the rear, they were (are) much the same basic design and easily recognised
Great video. Thank you.
Thank you Frank.
Dave, you always hit the right notes for this fellow. History, Ale and all from a county (or two) that are dear to my heart. I loved the countryside and History of Hampshire and Dorset, they're very special.
Thank you Joel I am so pleased you are enjoying the programmes I make.
I must admit we are well served with micro-breweries in Dorset and I do my best to support them!!! 😋
I think that they are very popular. It’s great though that so many people are keeping the crafts like brewing going I know Jack with be in favour.

That made me thirsty! Great to see the brewing trade flourishing again in the villages….
Yes it certainly is in Cerne and if you are ever down that way (not sure where you live) it’s worth popping in as they have a little bar in the brewery.
thanks for sharing-wish them lads the very best success! x
Thank you they are very keen and got some great marketing ideas such as naming some of the ales after people past and present in Cerne so I sure they will do well.
Enjoyed that Dave, more new stuff like this please!
I am so pleased you enjoyed it. I have so many more on my list. I am filming this coming weekend button making in Dorset. Next year I have planned a video each month on a commoner in the New Forest among so many more programmes…….I am going to be busy.
These are excellent videos of old crafts no longer done and a nice trip back down memory lane .Especially all your Jack Hargreaves videos.
This is a really lovely film, thank you. I'll be sure to visit Cerne next time I'm down in Dorset.
Thank you for your nice comment. I am so glad you enjoyed the programme and I am sure yo9u will enjoy a visit to Cerne and don’t forget to pop in to see Vic and Jodie at the brewery.
Brilliant
Thank you.
A great film about the Cerne Brewery.
Thank you it was great fun to make and lovely people, I will be going back this year and possibly make another film about the Cerne Valley.
A master of your craft. loved watching.
Thank you you are too kind. I am so pleased you enjoyed the programme.
Excellent to see local sourced ingredients for beer. And they come to my town for bottling.
Yes it’s good that the water comes from the Cerne and the Barley from the village I used to live in.
Must have been quite the filming effort Dave - lot of locations. Cracking film though. Pint of Ruby Mild for me - love a proper mild 😉
Hugh, Jen and I met in Dorset so thought we would have a break down in Cerne two or three miles from where we used to live. Just outside Cerne we stumbled on the brewery so decided to make a film on it. Had lots of fun doing making it and finding the people who would do the pieces to camera. Remember filmmaking is what I have always done since just after leaving school so I only know the way I was taught in TV.
@@DaveKnowlesFilmmaker Well, serendipity or not, the different locations make for a fantastic video. We've just finished a location shoot at a watermill - I learned a lot about how complex that is!
How lovely😍🍻
Thank you Marty. I have lots more similar videos waiting to be done so please keep watching.
8:00 - those skylarks! 😇
I have enjoyed watching the Jack Hargreaves content, great to see new content.
Very Interesting Vic
Thanks Simon.
Wonderful I could drink a few pints of that
Nice to see Will Best 🙂
Chris do you know Will then?
Lovely video the people will start I hope one day to wake up the old days always worked
Thank you William. I am so pleased you enjoyed the video.
I can imagine Jack standing at the bar with a pint of legless jester.
Now there is a thought 😹😹😹
Micro breweries are popping up in Ontario, some really good beer that actually have flavor.
Yes they are a lot over here in UK also and the beer is very popular. Over the years the big breweries have taken over the pubs and therefore controlling the market. They have also sold many pubs off to supermarkets who turn them into express stores. It was therefore great to see Vic and Jodie bringing back the art of beer making which had been dead since the late 1800’s in Cerne.
Far and away my favourite village in Dorset, and some of the nicest folk I have had the pleasure of getting drunk with. Although I've moved across the border to Somerset now, there's a piece of me in Cerne
I love Dorset and Somerset - Dorset ale and Somerset cider.
👍
Thank you.
A gallon of beer per day..... right, I'm joining the monastery. Where do I sign?
I'm having a pint of that!
That sounds a good idea.
@@DaveKnowlesFilmmaker did Jack live in Damerham or just visit it a bit?
I remember the stories about him.
@@piplee1439 Not sure where Damerham is but it doesn’t ring a bell. He lived in the forest for a bit then moved to a I think two places in Dorset.
I remember having holidays in the Mill House in 1989-91.......Is it still haunted?
Very Jackesque
Yes.
Beer & Jack! What more could you out want in life?
"How?"
Don't ask me, ask Jack.
If I remember Jack enjoyed a beer with a curry when he came to see us once a week while we were making Old Country.
You haven't tasted any then. Ir is not to my taste, worse than Palmers!
Jon I am not really a beer drinker but a lot of people seem to like it.
