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 Spread Eagle, Ipswich. Aroma is certainly smoky over coffee. Dark and glossy. Creamy beige head recedes. Flava is smoky with a tangy berry edge. Flows into creamy coffee. Medium bodied. Creamy but watered down. Flat-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Nice. After the ar9ma was expecting more smoke bur eventually it's a polite non-intrusive beer.

Half pint, cask, shared with Finn at Murderers. Deep mahogany body, scattered lacing, tiny off-white head. Inviting smell of floral fruit. Fine balanced taste of ripe citrus, biscuit, and mild caramel sweetness. Bittersweet tail. Smooth mouthfeel. Likable (Norwich 11.11.2021).
