Brancaster Brewery – From Grain to Glass

Did you know we brew our own beers? Local brewer Mark Riches crafts Brancaster Brewery ales to our very own recipes, using the best regional ingredients, including Maris Otter barley from Branthill Farm, just up the road in Wells-next-the-Sea. Each pint is a celebration of Norfolk’s rich brewing heritage and local craftsmanship.

Keep an eye out for the pump clips featuring original artwork by local watercolour artist Ken Tidd – a nod to the beauty of our coastal surroundings. Fancy a taste? Pop in and try one of our rotating seasonal ales. 

Brancaster Brewery is a small but mighty 5-barrel brewery, producing small batches of top-quality real ale. This village has brewing in its bones – records show it dates all the way back to Roman times! In fact, in 1797, the largest malthouse in the country was built here, just across the road from The Jolly Sailors, using bricks salvaged from the nearby Roman fort.

While the malthouse may be long gone, Brancaster Brewery keeps the tradition alive, pouring local history, passion, and the finest ingredients into every pint. So come on in, grab a glass, and taste a bit of Brancaster’s heritage. Cheers!
