Cliff Quay Brewery

Ipswich
|
| (Nov 08) |
The long established Earl Soham brewery has recently been working (and investing about £70k) to install a microbrewery inside part of the historic Cliff brewery site (formerly owned by Tolly Cobbold) which has been closed and looking increasingly run-down since 2002. The new brewery will be called the Cliff Quay Brewery and should start brewing very soon alongside a revamped brewery tap.

The owners of this popular local venue, Ady Smith and Karen Beaumont recently announced the purchase of an adjacent property to enable them to set-up their own micro-brewery. Currently the pub is being extended through the addition of a conservatory to the rear of the main bar. The brewery will be their next project with test brews hoped to be available sometime in spring 2009 - possibly in time for their next beer festival? |

moved to
Kings Head, North Yorkshire Dec 2003 |
| (since 1998) |
After brewing in a garden shed for five
years, Peter Fairhall moved from Wickhambrook in West Suffolk to
buildings behind the Kings Arms in Redmire near Dent in North Yorkshire.
During his time in Suffolk, Peter brewed some wonderful ales and
certainly deserved the opportunity to expand his business - it's
just a shame he had to move so far away! We will still have opportunities
to sample Peters future brews though. His sister, who now owns the
Kingston Arms in Cambridge outright (as Peter has sold his share
to her recently) will still stock the beers, and some other micros
in East Anglia also plan to do beer swaps with him, once the move
is completed. New brewery is now called Wensleydale. |

Started brewing just in time for the Eddy Fest (Edwardstone Music fair) in early September and located just behind the White Horse Inn this is a new type of micro brewery. Owner John Norton together with his son Tom have an environmental ethos and have created an amazing building, constructed within the grounds of the pub. They have used sustainable methods as much as possible. With foundations of lime, sand and aerated clay for damp/insulation, a plinth of bricks with lime mortar and main structure is a timber frame. Energy requirements will be supplemented by their own wind turbine, generating on average 6KW daily.
Recently the Brewery has been brewing two beers - Bulls Cross Bitter (3.5%) dark and hoppy and Lovely's Fair (4%) Pale and aromatic - two more Barley Bird - an interesting bitter (3.7%) and a brand new mild - as yet un-named will be available at their mini beer fest at end of Oct. |
