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

Bottle. From the petrol station at Brancaster. Cheap Baron Bigod. Fill up here before driving home. Think I’m going to move down here when I’m retired. Raspberry tinged bev is a bit IPA like. Bitter and reasonably easy drinking. Can’t imagine why this got brewed. Daft bollocks beer.

Cask pour at the Red Lion Hotel pub on the seafront in Cromer. Slightly deeper golden with a small head. Mildly malt-infused hoppy brew and some sugars. Traditional in design. Has a light fruitiness.
