Eldridge Pope was a traditional brewery situated in Dorchester, Dorset in England. Royal Oak and Hardy's were amongst the beers brewed there. Following a series of calamatous business decisions, the brewery closed in July 2003. The company's best-known brands are now brewed under licence by Dorset and Devon-based micro-breweries.

'Royal Oak' and 'Hardy's Ale' were two of the real ales brewed by Denis Edwin Holliday, Head Brewer of Eldridge Pope throughout the 1960s and 70s. He also has an entry in the Guinness Book of Records for brewing the strongest commercially brewed beer, 1978.

The brewery opened in 1881.
