Description
This Victorian property was originally home to the Cannon Brewery, which closed during World War I. It was later home to a Greene King pub called The St Edmunds Head, which closed in the early 1990s. The St Edmundsbury Record Office shows Pat and Liz Spillane purchased the property from Greene King in 1994, renovated the buildings, and reopened as The Old Cannon Brewery in December 1999.
The seven barrel brewplant is situated in a room above the bar, by the bar and in the pub cellars.

1/3 pint, 5.2 % abv, on a sample tray, cask at the Old Cannon brewpub. Clear golden body, patchy surface, dotted spots on the glassware. Hints of grass and leafy hops on the nose. Biscuit and grassy taste profile. Mid-dry bitter endnotes. Pretty nice. (Bury St Edmunds 12.11.2021).

1/3 pint on a sample tray, cask at the Old Cannon brewpub. Bright amber body, filmy layer, dotted spots. Restrained herbal hops and grain on the nose. Quite similar taste character of grainy malts and grassy, herbal hops. Rounded malt-fruity bitterness to the finish. Fair enough. (Bury St Edmunds 12.11.2021).

1/3 pint on a sample tray, cask at the Old Cannon brewpub. Covering white head, clear warm golden body, dotted spots on the glass. Doughy nose, a citric note to it. Mixed taste of bread-like malts, grass, and mild citrus. Clean mid-bitter fruity end. Satisfying. (Bury St Edmunds 12.11.2021).
