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?

At White Horse Inn, Edwardstone. As Grain Pilsener. Sour yeasty floral aroma. Copper gold. Thin translucent white head. Light-medium sugary sweet with a sour edge. Malts in the finish. Light bodied. Thin. Low key fizzy carbonation. Dry finish. It's OK. Doesn't overdo the sweetness but not much to it.

Clear dark amber to walnut colour, medium sized slightly beige-ish off-white head; aroma of toasted rye bread, fruity and nutty notes, as well as some biscuits; taste has the same notes (with some woody tones) with obviously much less intensity; anyway, it's a beer with around 4 percent ABV, so this somehow watery taste should't be criticized

33cl can from the Mad Squirrel shop, Chesham. A bright amber pour with a loose white head; sweet barley sugar aroma; barley taste with a light grassy bitterness; and a sweet finish. Not hoppy enough to balance the heavy malts.
