One of Cornwall's much-loved breweries which collapsed into administration last year has been taken over by another Cornish beer producer.

Goodh Brewing, based in Indian Queens, has bought the Skinners brewery that went into administration last year after struggling with rising costs and loss of business during the pandemic.

Despite a crowdfunding campaign for the company in 2021, which raised £80,000 in three days, the “heartbroken” owner Steve Skinner announced the news in October.

The firm has been operating for more than two decades, having been established in 1997.

New owner Louis Simpson said: “The team at Goodh is extremely proud to be taking over such an iconic Cornish brand in Skinners. We will be brewing from both Newham and Indian Queens.

“Brewing of the Skinners beers is scheduled to begin in the next few days, and we have returning head brewer Paola Leather at the helm. Betty Stogs and all of her friends will be back on taps directly.

Goodh (Cornish for wild) is hoping to restart brewing at the Newham Industrial estate, Truro.
