This crowdfunding campaign is led by husband-and-wife team, Daisy and Trystan-Ross Pooley-Tolkien-Williams. Bringing more than 25 years of combined experience in hospitality and the graphic design industries, they offer a deep understanding of delivering exceptional customer experiences and crafting quality products. Aiming to raise £15,000 the Penzance-based microbrewery and tap room, will use these pledges to create a space helping to expand and bolster the local community.
What makes this campaign even more exciting are the rewards on offer. Catering to backers from all walks of life; from exclusive tastings to early access to limited-edition beers, discounted vouchers to early bird access to our creative community membership and others showcasing the brand’s unique identity.
Nestled amongst the vessels used to brew and produce the beer, the taproom will be an immersive experience where guests can enjoy the beers made on-site alongside locally sourced food, expertly matched to each beverage. All of which is a stones throw from Penzance Station.
Beyond that, the space will serve as a vibrant community hub, including a bottle shop of our own products and some favourites from near and far, a space to showcase local talent, producers, and artisans. This combination of great beer, food, and community spirit promises to make Mên-an-Tol a cornerstone of Penzance life, making backing this crowdfunder an investment in something truly special for the future.
An Kylgh
Cornish for 'Circle'; An Kylgh will be representative of what Cornish creatives have to offer. A membership scheme to bolster their community across the county, with a focus on the West Penwith area.
An Kylgh will play host to community events and exhibitions within the Mên-an-Tol taproom, offering an interesting and ever changing space for creatives to shine; while members are invited to monthly meet-ups and workshops.

Our Vision
Celebrate Tradition: Engage in the heritage revival of Cornish real ale by crafting authentic, small-batch brews that honour the region’s history and ingredients.
Embrace Innovation: Using knowledge garnered over our combined years in hospitality, alcoholic beverage production and customer service, we will explore new ways of aging and conditioning the brew, bringing exiting additions to the finished product whilst remaining true to the core of what real ale is.
Champion Community: Create a space where locals and visitors can gather, connect, and share experiences in the rich culture of Cornwall.
Support Independence: Offer a true alternative to mass-produced beers, showcasing the diversity and creativity of Cornish brewing and production beyond.
Promote Sustainability: Source ingredients locally where possible and operate responsibly to preserve the natural beauty of our region by ensuring waste grain is disposed of in a way that goes back into the circular economy.
Heritage: This is more than a brewery; it’s a movement to revive an iconic part of Cornwall’s identity. Let’s raise a glass to Cornish tradition and bring this vision to life together.
