Description
The soul of every great beer is in the grain. Established in 2006 in barns at South Farm, Alburgh, with Oak as the first beer, Grain Brewery has since grown and grown. From originally only selling beers in farm shops, local food festivals and farmers markets in Suffolk and Norfolk, our beers are now available on draught and bottled across most of East Anglia. The Plough was the first Grain pub in 2010, with keg production starting in 2012. The Spread Eagle in Ipswich and The Corn Hall in Diss followed, and who knows what the future holds?

Now called 'Wheat'. 500ml bottle from Norfolk Bottle Shop. Pours a lifeless orange with no head. Aromas & tastes of orange, light coriander & hops. Moderate to medium body. No zing on the finish. Disappointing all round.

Bottle probably from Drove Orchards. Clear pale copper colour. Suds of sticky off white foam. Nose has buttery malts. Wort. Some leaf mulch. Taste is semi sweet with a moderate bitterness. Slick and mostly flat. Dry thin watery finish. Crap.
