The St. Peter’s Brewery company is based
at St. Peter, South Elmham, near Bungay in Suffolk. The brewery
itself was built in 1996 is housed in an attractive range of traditional
former agricultural buildings adjacent to St. Peter’s Hall.
Siting the brewery at St. Peter’s was
ideal because of the excellent water quality from our own deep bore-hole.
Locally malted barley is used, together with Kentish hops to produce
a range of classical English cask-conditioned ales. In addition
the company produces a range of superb bottled beers.
We brew 'traditional' beers - bitters, mild
etc. - as well as some more unusual beers such as honey porter and
fruit beer. (We are replicating what was common practice up to the
Nineteenth Century to add fruits and honey to beers to create special
seasonal brews.)
Thus blackcurrant and gooseberry beers would be brewed when soft
fruits were readily available while at Christmas-time dried fruits,
spices and orange peel would be added to ceate a special Christmas
Ale.
At St. Peter’s we aim to carry on traditional
brewing practices but hope always to have something new and exciting
for you to try.
