Description
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.

Tight foamy & creamy off white head on a dark brown still body & plenty of lacing. Nutty, roasted & vanilla aroma. Full bodied, smooth, oily & clean on the back. Liquorice, plum, demerara, vanilla, marzipan & caramel tastes a bitter finish. This is a meal in itself - Amazing Stout.

10/11/2023. Cask at The Ingate, Beccles. 5.5% abv. Was surprised to find I'd not rated this before. Became Suffolk rating #700. Pours clear deep bright amber with a small frothy off-white head leaving nice lacing. Good looking beer. Aroma is fruity, malty, caramel, slightly nutty edge. Very well balanced. Good body. Smooth. Soft carbonation. Well served. Enjoyable finisher to our time in Beccles.

750 swing top job. Picked up about a year ago from Bakers and Larner of Holt, Norfolk. The conditioning on these 750s is seriously impressive. Clear deep chestnut brown with a head to swoon over. Rich toffee and light roast malt. Sweet juicy dried fruit. Plump is a word that springs to mind. Plump sweet and fruity. Taste follows suit with a vinous bitterness. Super smooth and silly easy drinking. Fruity bittersweet finish. This is getting solodomed.
