About
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.

Cream Stout from St. Peter's Brewery

6.6/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Bottled. Black, beige head. Coffee and licorice in the nose. Sweet and creamy, with molasses and chocolate. Salty bitterish finish. Not very complex. On surface it’s a wonderful beer, but if you dig deeper it appears to lack the finer details.

Winter Ale from St. Peter's Brewery

5.6/10 — Appearance 10 Aroma 5 Flavor 5 Texture 4 Overall 5.5
Bottled (BB 10/2005)
Dark brown, almost opaque. Small expresso head. Aroma is like Grandma making Redcurrant juice. Nose has malts and barley. Base is a good soft porter, which has some sweet berries and spices with it. Basicly good choclaty and roated brew which just had too much sweet spices.

Old-Style Porter from St. Peter's Brewery
21 years ago
6.8/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
Deep translucent red-brown body, tiny light tan head. Aroma is a strange mix of toasted black malts and barley sugars/cereals (it reminds me of a non-alcoholic malt soda). The flavor is surprisingly sour and tangy with sharp malt sugars and light roasted notes leading to a distinctly woody, bitter finish. Somewhat sweet. Decidedly British and not bad!

Summer Ale from St. Peter's Brewery

7.1/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Hazy dark amber with little head. Very malty aroma with a beginning of contamination. Very smokey malt taste with nutty character and quite hoppy. Just got this puppy before it became bad. Very pleasant!
