Description
JackRabbit Brewing Co. was founded in 2019 by two craft beer enthusiasts with the aim of bringing modern craft beer to the picturesque surroundings of the Essex & Suffolk border.

The micro-brewery was converted from a disused piggery on an old smallholding farm, creating all kinds of logistical problems with a long winding driveway off a country lane!

Since 2019, the brewery has weathered the storm of the global pandemic, continuing to build the brand, and is now expanding, bringing on new team members and moving to a new larger site that is shared with a beautiful vineyard.
