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.

Organic Pale Ale from St. Peter's Brewery
19 years ago
5.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 6 Texture 4 Overall 5.5
Bottled. Hazy orange colour, small white head. Aroma is bitter hops mainly. Flavour is sweet hoppy and a bit malty. Easy to drink, but the aftertaste is quite short, and hoppy only. Quite watery to the palate.

Bottled (BB 03/2007). Dark honey golden color, small white head. A touch of honey in the malty aroma. Malty with bitter hoppyness. In the aftertaste nice long hoppy taste. Name is misleading, not a "Golden" or "Blond" ale.

Spiced Ale (Lemon & Ginger) from St. Peter's Brewery
19 years ago
3.8/10 — Appearance 4 Aroma 5 Flavor 3 Texture 4 Overall 3
Bottled (BB 11/2006). Light copper color, no head. Strong ginger aroma cut with lemon. In the flavor ginger is mixed with flavors like toothpaste or peppermint. Very strange ginger beer - not very drinkable - more like vanity brew.
