Uffa brewery is located in the old coach house adjacent to the pub opened in May 2011. We brew all our our beers by hand, in small batches. Our beers are avaliable on tap from the pub.

NB - Currently (2025) the brewery is not brewing (since ~2021) but hopes to start brewing once a suitable brewer has been appointed.

Bottle from the White Lion Inn, Ufford, Suffolk. Pours a hazy golden colour with an average sized white head. Aroma has some hop and malt, light fruit, but also with a slightly skunky edge. Medium sweetness and light bitterness. Quite high carbonation. Recall having had this from cask before and it was better, will re-rate next time.
