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?

Sample courtesy of Grumbo. Cheers! Aroma of citrus, grass, grain and cereal. Grass, herb and citrus come though on the taste. Quite malty and with a metallic aftertaste.

Cask @ Victorian Craft Beer Cafe, Halifax. Clear brown colour with a small creamy head. Sweet stout, although its sweetness seems to negate any classic stout character. As such, and despite its strength, it feels quite a mild example of this style.

Cask at the Red Lion with sea views in Cromer. Golden with a small head and glow. Hoppy with a fair strength evident in both aroma and taste. Mild sweetness too.

Full family walk from Overstrand to Cromer (for an excellent ice cream) and back again. It was a bit warm and tiring for all, particularly the big dog which had to be carried for the last bit by the middle daughter. Ended up in the White Horse in Overstrand which had a superb selection of cask beers and I had half of this. I have a strong suspicion I was the first person to have this on the day because it just wasn't quite right. Anyway, I picked up a fresh dressed crab from a little shop in Overstrand and a superb white burgundy, bread, salad and new potatoes from Waitrose. It's going to be a good night
