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.

Hazy deep amber beer, big pale cream coloured head. Palate is light and airy and minerally crisp. Very light malt and even light malt cream, dry with.a whisper of smoke. Very mild marmalade hops. Subtle red wine tang. Finishes light and crisp with the creamy malt a little more obvious. Light ash in the aftertaste. Decent but the flavours are pretty subtle.

Cask, gravity dispensed, at the Cambridge Beer Festival. A nice copper colour; touch of grapefruit aroma; crisp malty flavour with some more grapefruit; and a clean hoppy finish. A refreshing session bitter.

Cask at Southampton Arms, London NW5 on 1st March 2010. Copper with mostly diminishing off white head. Sweet malts and a deliciously smoked undertone that lasts to the end, with some grapefruit citric notes alongside. A softly textured mouthfeel, giving a beer that is very easy to drink for its 5.5abv.
