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?

27/9/2023. Cask at the Spread Eagle, Ipswich. Pours clear dark amber brown with a small bubbly off-white head. Aroma of caramel, citrus, bread, malt, hints of white grape, gooseberry and cooking chocolate. Medium sweetness and moderate developing bitterness. Medium body, very soft carbonation. Interesting concept, didn’t fully work for me but was a grower.

27/9/2023. Cask at the Spread Eagle, Ipswich. Pours clear dark amber with a small bubbly off-white head. Aroma of toffee, malt, bread, fruits, mild spicy edge. Quite sweet with mellow bitterness. Moderate body, oily, low carbonation. Quite liked it, though it lacked a bit of life.

Bottle from Hopsters, Ipswich. Almost black with an extremely thin head. Velvety smooth in texture, its strength seems to usurp an recognisable porter taste, although dark malts are evident in its aroma.
