About
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 from Beers of Europe. Appearance - cloudy amber. Thin head. Nose - grass and orange. Taste - hay, resin and some orange again. A bit astringent maybe. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy yet dry middle. Dry finish just falling short of astringent. Overall - solid enough. Generous but a bit challenging.

Fra cask på GBBF aug-19: nesten helt klar gylden med fint skum som varer. Gress urter, sommerblomster og et lite streif av lynghoning. Waterish. Fairly good but not totally convincing.

Half-pint draught at Cambridge Blue. Covering beige head, misty copper coloured body. Lacing rings. Smell of earthy malts and dried fruits. Dried fruits, grain and almond flavour character. Well bodied. Nice, gets a tad too sweet in the long run. (Cambridge 10.07.2019).
