About
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.

Half pint, cask, shared with Finn after breakfast at Bell Hotel (JDW). Laces well from a remaining, huge off-white head. Doughy smell, lightly smoked. Quite nice taste of smoked ham added by caramel malts. Prolonged ending. Pretty good. (Norwich 11.11.2021).

[Cask at the Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell.] A slightly hazy pale amber pour with a tight white head; biscuity malt aroma; biscuity malt taste with a peppery bitterness; and a bitter vegetal finish. A pleasant change to the usual citrusy summer beers.

17/10/2020. Bottle at the Lublin SoN beer share, from Hopsters, Ipswich. Pours dark amber/bronze with a large frothy off-white head. Aroma of fruit biscuit, toffee, malt, citrus, light smoked cheese and a little woodchip. Moderate sweetness, medium bitterness, touch of tart. Medium body, oily texture, average carbonation. Subtle smoky earthy finish. Looked good, and was quite drinkable, I preferred the light smokiness to those that are more heavily smoked.
