St. Peters

Our Beer Range

Our Beers are all ‘real ales’ and are brewed using the finest ingredients – local East Anglian malts and British hops. Our water is drawn from our own deep source within the chalk layer way below St. Peter’s Hall and is ideal for brewing.

We brew ‘traditional’ beers – bitters, mild etc. – as well as some more unusual beers such as honey porter and fruit beer.

Even these, however, are not really ‘exotic’ at all as it was common practice up to the Nineteenth Century to add fruits and honey to beers to create special seasonal brews.

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.

Our oval Bottle is a 500ml copy of one from Gibbstown, near Philadelphia which dates from c. 1770. It was produced for Thomas Gerrard, an innkeeper with a tidewater inn on the Delaware River

Stop on by and see all the stuff we can’t show you here at St. Peters.

India Pale Ale

Traditionally highly hopped and robust to survive the long voyage to the Indian sub-continent. The result is a full bodied Pale Ale with a zesty character. Featured at number 1 position in Independent newspaper “Top 50 Beers” in November 2007.

ABV: 5.5%


Old Style Porter

This fine beer is a blend of a mature old ale and a younger light beer – just as a true Porter should be. The marriage produces an extremely characterful brew which is dark in colour and complex in taste. CAMRA Champion Beer of Suffolk 2005 / Bronze medal CAMRA Winter Beers Festival 2007.

ABV 5.1%


Cream Stout

“Fuggles” and “Challenger” hops plus a blend of 4 local barley malts create an aromatic, strong, dark chocolate cream stout with a satisfying bittersweet aftertaste. Gold Medal winner in the International Beer Competition in 2003 and 2004. Serve at room temperature.

ABV: 6.5%


Golden Ale

English Pale malts coupled with Challenger and Goldings hops provide the bitterness and aroma. The result is a highly distinctive light, golden ale similar in character to a full-bodied Czech lager.

ABV: 4.7%
