Description
First brewed January 2012 as Norfolk Brewhouse. In early 2019 they rebranded as Moon Gazer Ale.
We have a passion for great-tasting, natural beer – high in quality and rich in flavour.
Through Moon Gazer beers we want to involve others with that passion. You see, we think that beer should set out to do one simple thing – bring pleasure.
In our beer we demand premium quality, local provenance and consistency. OK, buying locally is a little bit tricky when it comes to hops. To create great flavours and to complement our British hops, we have also selected some excellent hops from around the world.
Furthermore, we see time as a key ingredient in creating a quality beer. Yes, we understand that brewing is a craft. However, it is also a science and fermentation, maturation and flavour development are all given as much time as needed to get that ‘just right’ taste.
Our demand is for consistency in our Moon Gazer Ale and keeping all your favourites available at all times. That said, we do appreciate and understand that people enjoy variety so you will usually find at least one special new beer a month for you to enjoy.
Also look out for various collaborations when we team up with brewing mates to bring new beers and have fun.

Cask at the Plasterers Arms, Norwich, 27/01/24. Rate My Bier Dot Com rating number #40,000 for this Bois so it seems ... nice that its a twiggy cask affair and not some 'hype' wank! Golden amber with an off white cap that thins to swirl. Nose is biscuit, stewed fruits, grains, herb, caramel wafer. Taste comprises brown bread, biscuit, dried fruit rinds, herb. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close. Okay for the style I suppose if a little on the twiggy side.

Bottle shared at Craft Beer Junction - picked up from Pigs Ear fest. Pours lightly hazed russet with a creamy, off-white head. Medium sweet flavour with notes of toasted malts, light wood, melon, orange peel, subtle leafy accents. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Pretty well balanced finish, further crispy toasted malts, mild earthy-leafy bitterness, dried citrus peel. Decent overall.

Craft Beer Junction bottle share, thanks to LKS. A light haze on this amber beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light semi dry minerally crisp palate. Thin caramel malts, slightly more bitter than sweet. Tangy apple and pear. Light dry finish, mild spice. Nice flavour but thin and dry.
