Description
In 1965, Lacons were taken over by a Whitbread who closed Lacons down in 1968. Subsequently reclaimed independence in 2013 and started brewing again.
Early on, beers were produced under a number of names, including Courtyard and Wilbur Wood. Launched under the Lacon's Name in May 2013.
Based in Norfolk, Lacons Brewery is home to Lacons Encore, the award-winning amber beer. Our brewing team is committed to using the highest quality Norfolk malt along with the original Lacons yeasts. Developed over 100 years ago and used in every brew, endowing all our new beer with centuries of brewing heritage.

Cask at PE 2016. It pours cloudy black with a small beige head. The aroma is soft, sweet, berry, jammy fruits, candy, fruit cordial and blueberry pie. The taste is smooth, bitter, toasty, berry skin, fruit pie, charred earth, umami, ash, leather and peppery spice with a drying finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Not bad for a fruity mild.

Cask at Pigs Ear 2016 - London. Pours rich brown with a creamy topping. The nose has suggestions of citrus fruits, cocoa. Light sweet flavour with mellow dark malt character, toast, hints of chocolate, more citrusy notes, low bitterness. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Finishes with yet more zesty citrus, fm restrained cocoa, a little scorched earth bitterness. Good depth for a milde.
