Ideal Day Family Brewery

We are James and Nia Rylance and we have two little boys. We live, work and raise our family in the Cornish countryside.

Somewhere in the midst of the sleep deprivation two young boys will inflict, we decided it was the perfect time to reach for our dream of establishing our very own brewery.

This dream didn’t emerge from nothing – James has over a decade of experience brewing at The Kernel, Beavertown, Redchurch, and Harbour to name a few, and has been itching to focus in on ingredient-led beers for a while. Brewing is what he loves to do, and after years of professional brewing it was the right time to put our family dreams into action.

We are based in the Tamar Valley in Cornwall which is an area of outstanding natural beauty. Our brewery is on Crocadon Farm near Saltash.

Crocadon Farm is a regenerative farm at the forefront of sustainable agriculture. We grow a lot of our grain, as well as herbs and fruit, on our doorstep. Alongside the brewery is a restaurant, farm shop, cafe and market garden.
