Welcome to the Green Jack Brewing Company website. Green Jack was founded in 1993 by Tim Dunford, we are a multi-award winning traditional real ale brewery based in Lowestoft in Suffolk. From humble beginnings Green Jack has now grown into one of the largest real ale breweries in East Anglia. In 2009 we built a new 38 barrel brew house in an old smoke house in the heart of historic Lowestoft. This enabled Green Jack to produce significantly improved volumes of our award-winning real ales. Green Jack beers are now available nationwide and online via our Real Ale Shop. Green Jack beers are known for their subtle balance of sugars, malt and hops, we produce beers of our design along with our own contemporary take on traditional English beer styles.
Cask at Picture House, Stafford. Pours a golden yellow with a small off-white head and good lacing. There’s summer fruits in the aroma, and these continue in the mouth, but are soon replaced by floral hops as the dominant force. It’s sweet overall, with herbs and some hints of citrus. Finish is somewhat bitter. Not at all bad.
[ Cask at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading.] A pale amber pour with a tight cream coloured head; fruity aroma; fruity taste with some leafy blackcurrant; then a bready finish with some rosemary and oregano.
Gravity cask at Bedford Beer Festival 2022. Pours clear amber with an off-white cap. Malt, caramel, fairly subtle smoky character. Semi dry finish. Nicely balanced. Medium body with soft carbonation
Pours a clear amber colour with a small thin foamy off-white head. The aroma is malty, caramel with some fruity hoppy notes. A moderately sweet to light sweet taste, sweet malts, caramel, toffee apple and light fruit flavours with some bitterness in the finish.
Cask at Shrewsbury Hotel, Shrewsbury – at 5.5%. Pours a reddish golden brown with a medium sized off-white foamy head and good lacing. Takes a while to settle but does so eventually. Malts to the fore in the aroma and they are prominent again in the mouth. This time with a creamy texture, an infusion of toffee and autumn fruits. Slight bitterness to start, and this becomes more pronounced with traditional hops and some traces of ginger. This is a decent ESB.
