TOPSHAM BREWERY + portal pizza
Set on Exeter’s historic quayside, our microbrewery is all about brewing sessionable, characterful beers you’ll want to come back to. You’ll find our taproom and brewery tucked between the River Exe and the Exeter Canal Basin. We brew a wide range of styles throughout the year — from rich milkshake stouts and juicy IPAs to classic hefeweizens and crisp, refreshing lagers. At Topsham Brewery, we’re passionate about making distinctive beers and constantly honing our craft.
Portal pizza started in April 2021 as a lockdown idea that has now become a must-go in the city of Exeter for incredible food. Serving up Neapolitan inspired pizzas for the hungry patrons of the taproom, the truck is open seven days a week with openings at evenings during the week and all day on weekends.
