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

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

Clitheroe Beer Festival 2024. Slightly deeper glowing golden colour. Strength infused tropical fruit aroma and taste, but the fruit is flavoursome so it's what is most distinctive.

Bottle. That grocers in Cley, Norfolk. Clear deep ruby red. Slim dense beige head. Light roast. Some vine fruit. Bit of burnt caramel. Taste is dry and lightly bitter. A bit thin overall with moderate bitterness to finish. Ok. A tad sterile.

Cask at Babington Arms, Derby. Pours “bitter brown” with a small foamy off-white head and good lacing. Floral hops and oranges in the aroma plus some grassy hints. In the mouth it’s sweet and zesty but with some underlying bitterness. Floral hops and malts to the fore at the start, but later autumn fruits come through alongside traces of spice and peanuts. Finish is hopps with increased bitterness and some fruity vibes. This is a decent best bitter.
