One of a pioneering group of 'microbreweries' which started producing real ales in the early 1980s, Moles Brewery of Melksham has now celebrated more than a quarter of a century in business, during which time the company's all-malt real ales have gained an excellent reputation for quality and consistency amongst real ale drinkers in the south-west.
Moles Brewery produces a range of real ales (cask beers) at their site in Bowerhill, complemented by seasonal ales and occasional 'event' brews, many of which have won awards at local and regional real ale festivals.
Moles Ales can be found in free houses throughout the UK, in addition to a small group of pubs operated by associate company Cascade Public House Management.
If you are planning a coach holiday or day trip this year, then a local coach company is worth a call.
Minerva Travel offers a wide range of day trips to popular destinations and seaside resorts. The company also runs a local school service in the Melksham area to Corsham and St Laurence School.
The business was set up by Steve Petty following many years as a coach driver and tour manager. He said, “People like to know they can book up locally and are dealing with someone based in the town. You’ll be sure of a friendly service and our aim is to make sure everyone has a really good time when then travel with us.”
