Break-in at St Agnes cider shop

According to an article published on 4 April 2026 by Cornwalllive, police are investigating a burglary at The Bearded Brewery bar and bottle shop in St Agnes. The incident occurred at 2am on Wednesday, 1 April.

In response to the theft, the brewery has announced it will transition to a cashless operation across all its sites, including those in Newquay, Mawgan Porth, and its headquarters in St Mawgan. Site manager Kris Gillespie confirmed that the business has informed the police, though no arrests have been reported at this stage.
