Description
Humber Doucy Brewing Co. is a family-run brewery based in Bacton in the heart of the Suffolk countryside. Surrounded by the fields that provide the barley used for brewing, the location captures John and Alan’s love of Suffolk perfectly.

John and Alan, a father and son team, believe there is nothing better than the combination of Suffolk and beer. Humber Doucy Brewing Company combines the two beautifully.

Humber Doucy is all about Suffolk. John and Alan’s love of Suffolk is reflected in the inspiration for the beer’s names and the name of the brewery itself. Taken from a street in Ipswich, and reflecting the nature of Humber Doucy beers – meandering, relaxing and just a little bit shady.

Humber Doucy is all about beer. We are committed to using locally malted barley. Being located in one of the best barley-growing regions in the world, and surrounded by fields of the good stuff, why wouldn’t we?

Near clear gold beer, throws a bloody big pale cream colour head! Elderflower and saison herb evident on the nose. Airy palate, mildly dry, good fine carbonation. Fluffy pale malts, a nice light creamy sweetness goes well with the bright sweetish elderflower. A mild saison herb. Hard to tell what the nettles are bringing, there is a nice background fruitiness, almost candyish. Light and semi dry finish. A very pleasant affair, airy, quite elderflower and easy drinking.
