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.

Clear amber beer, small bubbly pale tan head. Light palate, mildly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Thin bodied malts, some watery cream and caramel. Ripe fruits, date, fig and bruised citrus. Light finish. Tastes like a Camra special. Don't hate it, has a style, never gonna be even remotely excited about it.
