Description
Humpty Dumpty Brewery was founded in 1998 in Reedham, Norfolk, and moved to its current location on Church Road in 2001. We take our name from the GER Class T-19R steam locomotives that operated on the Norwich – Lowestoft line in the early 20th Century.
The brewery operates an 11-barrel brewplant and produces a wide range of award-winning real ales.
We are now a well-established multi-award winning microbrewery in the heart of the Norfolk Broads delivering cask and bottled real ales to pubs and other outlets across East Anglia.

Bottle. Ringstead Stores. Mostly clear coppery amber. Suds of beige. Looks dead. Nose has a whiff of malt and hops alongside some wet cardboard action. Taste is utterly nondescript. I mean there’s nothing happening. Watery and incredibly bland. Pointless.
