Description
St. Peter's is an independent brewery founded in 1996 by John Murphy in former agricultural buildings adjacent to St. Peter’s Hall in St Peter, South Elmham, near Bungay, Suffolk, England. Siting the brewery at St. Peter’s was ideal because of the excellent water quality from our own deep bore-hole. Locally malted barley is used, together with Kentish hops, to produce a range of classical beers (bitters, mild etc.) as well as some more unusual beers such as honey porter and fruit beer.

Fun fact: The oval shape of its signatory 500 ml bottle is based on an 18th-century gin bottle from Gibbstown, by the Delaware River near Philadelphia, USA.

(Cask at Pineapple, Kentish Town, London, 16 July 2026) Amber colour with creamy, off-white head. Malty nose with notes of caramel, orange peel, apricots and syrupy malt. Malty, fruity taste with caramel, syrup, dried fruit, apricots and a mild herbal/citric bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a certain sweetness. Strongish, still in good balance. Nice one.

Cask at Lodge, Alsager. Pours “bitter brown” with a small scummy off-white head and excellent lacing. There’s rich tea biscuits and tangerines in the aroma. In the mouth it is quite sweet but with some underlying bitterness. Malts and floral hops dominate the flavour but there’s also caramel and hints of citrus and dried fruit. Traces of spice and herbs come through later as well. Finish is fruity and quite dry. This is a decent old school bitter.
