Description
The Muirhouse brewery started on a 100 litre plant in our family garage with brewing taking place every week on a Sunday.

It was named the Muirhouse Brewery because Richard’s (The Owner) surname is muir and was brewed in his house's garage.

We brew beer with a passion to create great products full of flavour after all our name is on the pump clip. We endeavour to go up and above to give our customers a great service, great beers with guest beers alongside our own.

Cask at the Ipswich Beer Festival. Aroma of orange calpol, toffee, earthy and grainy. Slightly thin but a nice drying finish.

Cask at The Wellington, Birmingham. Dark brown with small beige top. This one has a sweet tangy blackcurrant and pineapple character and although there are some nice roast and liquorice notes it doesn't quite balance the beer. Interesting one but not a big fan.

25/7/2024. Cask at the 34th Ipswich Beer & Cider Festival. This is a special brew to celebrate ITFC’s promotion (the brewer is a Town fan). Pours clear bright golden amber with a small bubbly off-white head. Aroma is hoppy, orange, toffee, earthy, slightly medicinal. Medium sweetness and bitterness. Moderate body, oily, soft carbonation. Sticky wafer-like finish. Not bad, but in truth, promotion tasted even better.
