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?

Cask at the Mill, Cambridge. Clear mid-golden with a big loose white head. Citrus, hay, a bit of butter. Decent taste: bittersweet with a savoury, almost meaty quality. Finish and aftertaste have a more pronounced hop bitterness. Enjoyable and better than the sum of its parts.
