Description
After approaching my family about the idea of setting up a micro-brewery on the family farm we started to get our plan together. We spent a year learning, researching, volunteering and sampling beers from all over and took the plunge in 2012 to return to Suffolk and make the dream a reality.

Matt Hammond originally founded the brewery as Shortts Farm Brewery but dropped Farm from the brewery name in 2015.

Fra cask på GBBF aug-19: brunsvart med kort bruseskum. En maltdrevet, lett mld hvor jeg får assosiasjoner til havrekjeks, lys sjokolade, solbær og litt lær. Fairly tasty but quite unassuming.
