About
Chalk Hill Brewery was formed in 1993 by Bill Thomas, Tiny Little and David Blake – a group of friends with a shared interest in sailing, and beer. It now stands as the longest running independent brewery in Norwich!

The brewery was named after the surrounding area which was previously known as Chalk Hill, and is now Rosary Road. The brewery is a custom built 15 barrel plant and brews a selection of permanent and seasonal real ales. The brewery supplies it’s beer to local pubs including The Coach and Horses which is on the same site as the brewery.

Clear deep golden color with a off white layer on top. Moderate intensity in the aroma. Medium body and a soft carbonation level. Moderate sweet and a mild bitterness. A bit more fruit than normal and the usual caramel flavor. Not very inviting this.
