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?

[500ml bottle-conditioned from Larners, Holt, Norfolk] Pours pale amber-orange with a large, frothy white head. Overly fizzy. Sweet, fresh fruity aroma. Taste is strangely different to the aroma - a biscuitty malt with a slightly spicy, bitter finish. Quite bland actually, and the fizziness was annoying.

Cask, Gravity at Banbury Beer Festival, Oxon, 08-05-09 Pours warm gold with a filmy white head. Plenty of ripe fruity flavours and its malty, but overall I agree with what Glen says this is let down by its sweetness, thick and rather cloying at times, its sticky but its still not so bad.

Cask gravity at White Cliffs BF 09. Bit fishy on aroma. Liquorice all oer it. No port as far as I can tell. Bit powdery in mouth. It’s just to much liquorice for me.
