Description
We started brewing in February 2009 in the old loading bay of the former Tolly Cobbold Brewery in Ipswich on the Cliff Quay. The Tolly Brewery is located in the heart of the industrial dock area of Ipswich, and is a hugely historic site with brewing being carried out here since the 1700’s.
By 2012 it was becoming obvious that the old loading bay we were located in, which was not part of the Victorian brewery, was coming to the end of its natural life. So we took the reluctant decision to relocate. After much hard looking, we found a site in Debenham not far from our sister brewery in Earl Soham . This new site makes it much more logistical sense, so now we spend more time brewing and less time shuffling through the traffic between the 2 site.

Pint at the Townhouse, Ely. Light gold, clear with a small white head. Lots of lacing. A bit of seawater and citrus aroma. Full fruity bittersweet citrus taste, with a salty/astringent finish. Not bad.

Cask at the Reading beer festival. Amber in hue. This is a bit sweet, isn’t it? Really sweey shop chewitt type sweet. There’s some tropical fruitiness, sure, and a little earth, but really needs more hop balance to make it work. Poor.
