An independent Norfolk brewery, set up in 2015 to brew great beer in Norfolk using the finest ingredients.
The company was set up by real ale enthusiasts from Norfolk, with the intention of producing great beers, which could be enjoyed by anyone. Their vision is to produce high quality new beers which are true to Norfolk’s long brewing tradition.
We are named after Boudicca, the famous Queen of the Iceni who led a rebellion against the Roman Empire in Britain. She won several victories, and burnt Colchester, St Albans and London to the ground before finally being defeated. She wasn't captured by the Romans and while it is unknown what happened to her, it's thought she probably committed suicide to avoid capture and certain death at the hands of Emperor Nero.
The names of our beers reflect Celtic and East Anglian history and artefacts. For example, the spiral is a common motif in Iron Age British art. The torc that inspired our logo is a kind of necklace that was a status symbol for the Celts and seems to have been particularly common among the Iceni. Many of these torcs can be seen in the Norwich Castle Museum.
