Description
When good friends Ray Ashworth and David Crease got tired of the same old beers, they were determined to change things up a level. With a passion for homebrewing and creating authentic flavours, they became part of a new-wave revolution, handcrafting their own beers in the 1960s.
In 1981 they founded their own brewery near Norwich and moved to a converted farm complex in the picturesque Broadland village of Woodbastwick in 1989

Can at the Ship Inn, amongst the distinctively pebble-dashed houses of Weybourne in Norfolk. Hazy dank appearance with a creamy-frothy head. Good citrus in both aroma and taste, making it a mildly sweet tropical fruit brew fused with a few pine notes.

Weicher, süß herb-malziger Beginn. Die Süße bleibt eher mild, erst dezente, dann schnell stärker werdende Bitterkeit. Süffig, überraschend hopfig, weicher und langer Abgang. Gefällt. 8/10/11/10/7/11

Hand-pulled pint at the Mitre Inn, Witheridge on 23rd July 2024. Clean and clear golden body, snow white crown. It's a decent enough golden ale, but lacks oomph and depth, just an easy going blend of light malts and a few bittering hops.

Cask at Cock and Magpie in Brimington - pale yellow body with a short white head. Bland grassy taste, little bitter finish, nothing exciting.
