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.

Cask at Lord Burton, Burton-on-Trent Pours a very dark red-brown with a tight beige head. Has an aroma of mixed fruits with a touch of cocoa. In the mouth the taste swings from an initial fruityness (raspberries) to choclate and then back to fruits again. Plenty of roast malts in there as well. Finish is bitter and earthy. This is a very good beer.
