About
Poppyland Brewery occupies a small section of what was Allen’s Garage in West Street Cromer. The brewery was set up in 2012 by Martin Warren with the aim of producing small batches of top-quality beer using unusual processes and ingredients to produce “different and interesting” beers.

It is beer that’s based in north Norfolk, using barley grown and malted in locally, plus ingredients sometimes locally foraged but not excluding anything from anywhere in the world. Beer is brewed in small quantities 200 – 300 litres and either bottled or casked. All operations, from the formulation of the recipe to the design of the labels, is carried out in house.

Martin retired at the end of 2018 and Dave Cornell took over the brewery from the beginning of 2019. We have continued to follow the philosophy that has worked so well and the strapline ‘Adventures in beer start here…’ is as relevant nowadays as it was from the outset of the brewery.

Curry leaves and Kaffir lime leaves in the mix here. Hazy amber beer, small cream colour head. Smooth palate, fairly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Smooth light malts, a little caramel and cream, not that sweet. Pine and Kaffir lime combine to create a slightly medicinal herby vibe. The curry leaves bring an earthy but otherwise very mellow spice. Marmalade underneath. Smooth, dry and bitter finish, bitter lime peel and more earthy spice. An original idea for a Dipa for sure, not fully integrated for me but certainly interesting. I think the curry leaves were one step too far.

Craft Islington bottleshare. Light haze on this gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Airy palate, semi dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Light malts, mildly sweet. Slighty tangy fruits, only mildly pomegranate. Plenty of generic fruits. Mild spice. Quite a dry finish. No saison herb and that is fine by me.
