Beer Albion were crowned league and cup champions at the end of the 2022/2023 season, their first season at step seven football following their promotion from the Devon & Exeter Football League Premier Division at the end of the previous campaign.
The club was formed in 1919 and most of the players that formed the club served on HMS Albion during the war, hence the word Albion being adopted in their name.
Initially games were friendlies and cup games against local teams. In 1921 the club joined the recently formed Perry Street Junior and Minor League. Both Beer teams remained in this league until 1952.
In 1934 the club acquired the site in Stovar Long Lane. Clinton Estates agreed an annual rent of £5 initially. The field was covered in bracken and gorse bushes, these were gradually removed and eighteen months later the pitch was good enough for games to take place and the Furzebrake was our new home. A small wooden hut was provided for the changing rooms.
In the early 1950’s the club joined the Devon & Exeter League, entering two teams. In 1977/78 a new club house was built by the players and committee with Basil Lang and player Norman Rooke in charge of construction. In 1987/88 the clubhouse was doubled in size to accommodate a committee room and small bar.
In recent years the facilities have once again been improved and the club pride themselves in offering visiting teams a warm welcome and unrivalled hospitality.
The 2021/2022 season proved to be a successful one, both teams gained promotion. The first team applied and were accepted for the Devon League and the second team moved up to Division One of the Devon & Exeter League.
The club were crowned league cup champions in 2023 following a 4-2 final victory over Mount Gould and were winners of the Devon Premier Cup in 2022 having beaten North Molton SC 5-4 on penalties after a 1-1 draw.
