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.

Cask at The Foresters, Church Crookham. Slightly sour edged malt aroma. Mesium brown. Creamy but blotchy off-white. Bitter with a sour edge. Some underlying sweet caramel. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Average. Abrupt finish. OK but nothing to write home about.
