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. A gift from Totnes. The person not the place. Medium amber brown. Soft haze. Good solid lacing off white foam. Nose has nutty malts. Granary bread crust. Hedgerow berries. Leafy soft herbal hop. Taste has a nutty sweetness getting nicely bitter and just a tad twangy. Good depth of flavour throughout. Bitter semi dry finish. Nice Browne.

Bottle at home picked up from the brewery. A long day at work with truly awful weather meant I was drawn to this beer from the collection by the name. Good pour into the tankard with a lasting head and a real bitterness in the mouth. Very pleasant but nothing spectacular

Bottle at home picked up from the brewery. Good pour and quite cloudy, which was a surprise as I had been so careful with it. Strong taste of yeast and a real home brew flavour. Not great.

Bottle from the brewery. Morning spent at the Bank Holiday Chilli festival at Benington and afternoon making pizza dough with the youngest ready to fire up the wood fired oven later. Huge head on the beet with bitter on the nose and plenty on the taste. A surprising soft mouthfeel and very drinkable. Nothing special, but pretty good.

Bottle at home picked up from the brewery. A thoroughly miserable Bank Holiday Saturday meant the Monopoly board was brought out and a riotous game ensued. I was first one out which was a bit disappointing, but a great time was had by all and I celebrated with this beer. Good pour, good head and an aroma of bitter hops. Light and refreshing mouthfeel and a very pleasant and thirst quenching bitterness. Slight touch of farmyard to the flavour, but there was a huge amount of crud in the bottle and I know I got some in.

Bottle picked up from the brewery and enjoyed in the Fat Lad's Arms, my own pub at the bottom of the garden. It was a long week and this started the Bank Holiday weekend. It would have been sooner, but a lunatic put in a 5pm meeting. Some people! The beer was to me a perfect bitter, a great balance of malt and bitter hops with a really low abv.

Long day of dog walking, ice cream eating and beer hunting - which was particularly successful. Family barbecue in the evening with a few Brewdogs before, a nice SA shiraz with the chicken and sausage and this beer served in a big wine glass while catching up with the Olympics. Very hazy pour and a huge nose of malt. The taste was (as expected) massive and rich malt, with carbonation and even more malt. Ok, this one isn't for me, one dimensional and a bit too much.

Thanks Simon. Floral smooth nose. Bitter dry, creamy dense. Grainy body, intense bitterness with round and mild bitter Ale graininess. Nice and rich.

Hazy amber brown beer, a few pale tan bubbles don't come close to ever being a head. Light palate, semi dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Tangy malts, trace of chocolate, slightly more than a trace of smoke. Little bit of caramel coming through as the beer warms up. Light finish. An old skool and somewhat smoky barleywine but it's okay.
