Description
Established in March 2018, we are a new and enthusiastic microbrewery based in the beautiful historic market town of Clare in West Suffolk. With our passion for high quality, fine ales of character we are extremely proud of our tasty small-batch brews which currently range from classic amber ales and golden IPA to Belgian-style abbey ale and dark coffee porter... and quite a bit in between!

By using only the very finest malts and hops and producing each of our beers in small quantities we are able to create exceptional ales under tightly controlled conditions, testing and tweaking our recipes at every stage. This method allows us to experiment with dozens of different beer styles as well as perfecting our more popular range of ales and craft lagers.

7/2/2025. Cask at the 15th Elysian Winter Beer Festival. Pours almost clear mid-brown with a small bubbly off-white head. Aroma has a big hit of spice market, fruit cake, dried fruits, sherry. Moderate sweetness, bitterness and body. Slightly watery, soft carbonation. Dry spiced finish. Promises a lot but lacks body and fades on first impressions.
