The Dorset Piddle BreweryUntil now, had you asked for a pint of Dorset Piddle at a pub, you would have been shown the door in double quick time! However, two very enthusiastic entrepreneurs have started a brewery near Piddlehinton.
Rob, who admits to 'a passion for beer, wine, rare malts and anything else alcoholic', started experimenting with recipes and in November 2007, Yogi Beer was launched - the initials of their own pub - Ye Olde George Inn and was a runaway success with locals and visitors alike. Then, with a number of new recipes bubbling away, the pair launched Piddle on the free trade in February 2008. Piddle, a genuine local name, still causes great amusement among locals and visitors. Visitors delight in being photographed with the idiosyncratic pump clips and by the brewery van.
Late last year, Purbeck Ice Cream asked for samples of their beers, as the noted Kingston firm wanted to produce a beer-flavoured sorbet. Purbeck were so impressed by the clean taste and the malt and hop flavour that they chose Dorset Piddle for their new flavour - Piddle Sorbet and is now on the market.
Rob and Paul were over the moon to have received the prestigious 'Taste of Dorset Award 2009' for the best drinks supplier in September 2009.
