About
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.

28/2/2021. Bottle bought direct from the brewery. My Suffolk brew #500 and Suffolk brewery #51 (it was supposed to be a landmark 500/50 but a brewer recently moved from Kent to mess that combo up!). Pours clear golden with a small creamy white head. Aroma is floral, hoppy, malty, citrus, straw, touch of veg. Moderate sweetness and medium bitterness. Moderate body, average carbonation. Easy drinking sunshine beer.
