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 Jeruselum Tavern London Black in colour, good burnt malt nose and flavour. Really fine stout flavour. Excellent very long and very dry finish. Some of their beers can be a bit thin but when they get it right they are wonderful
Cask at Jeruselum Tavern London Black, burnt malt on nose, burnt malt in mouth with some fruit. Dry finish with some flavoursome hops 3.3/5.0 Re-rate 500ml bottle from Franglais, Calais. The aroma was great, full of roasted malts. Good in mouth and excellent fruits and malts in the mouth
Cask at Jeruselum Tavern London Interesting hops on this ruby brown beer but served a bit too cold and although a hoppy finish, not enough malt to give it structure
Cask conditioned at the 32nd Cambridge Beer Festival, gravity dispense. Very dark brown to chestnut, nearly black. Lovely strong aroma of roast malts, dark chocolate and prunes. Notes of oak and cigars too. Flavour is roasty, smooth and mellow with chocolate notes. Roasty aftertaste. Very good.
Cask at County Hotel (JDW) Ashford. I’ve had this beer in a bottle (disappointing) at St Peter’s Jeresulem Tavern in London (okay) and now on hand pulled draught and I would say that the hand pulled is the best I have had it. I have read the other ratings and I feel that this beer loses something in the bottle. This is a golden ale, with hoppy tangerine notes on the nose. Slightly creamy in the mouth, with acidic creamy finish wiht more tangerine/orange flavours and dryness. I like it in this form
