Virginia Casadio | Duration Brewing
Virginia Casadio brews at Duration Brewing in Norfolk. Duration is an modern farmhouse brewery making beautfully balanced ‘beers that belong’, brewed from nature with purpose. Before joining the business in 2024, she was a Lost + Grounded brewer in Bristol and the head brewer at Newtown Park (also Bristol). Virginia says her gateway beer to becoming a beer enthusiast was a pint of Anchor Steam she tried – when studying in the US, and considers herself a complete lifer travelling to breweries around the world to try ‘all the tasty beers’ Photo: Nathan Neeve
Duration is based on a working farm in rural West Norfolk. Virginia deftly operates our semi automated 20hL 3 vessel BrauKon brewkit and Virginia heads up most of our brews with a hands on approach to cellaring and packaging and can often be found in her poly tunnel growing veg and flowers or foraging in the woods. She often hosts our brewery tours and when not in Norfolk she is usually heading out to beers festivals or travelling the world to visit breweries to try ‘all the tasty beers’!
If you tried any of the below these are her recipes…
Sorbetto – Raspberry Gose
Avalanche – West Coast IPA
Tmavé Pivo – Czech Dark Lager – award winner 2024
Nostalgia – Cali Common – award winner 2024
As well as producing all of our core and seasonal beers, Virginia excels at developing her own elegant and balanced recipes spanning both modern and traditional styles. Virginia stepped away from city life at in Bristol at Lost + Grounded Brewers to brew in creative solitude inspired by Norfolk’s rich agricultural landscape and the bounty of the woodlands and farmlands around us. Duration featured in a Brewer’s Journal published article HERE which shares a little about our set up and desire to make beers that belong brewed from nature with purpose.
Miranda our founder and the breweries managing director has long celebrated advancing women in all industries and will be hosting you on the day and there to chat to along with Virginia who will be running the brew. Friendly and inclusive Miranda lives by a ‘be it to see’ motto and is often found pulling pints in the taproom or being a brand ambassador for Duration. Miranda is also on the board of an Indian Charity to end Gender Based Violence against women and children.
