FAQs

Wild ales and fresh beers brewed from nature with purpose. Inspired by the creative solitude of our rural location Duration showcases how beautifully brewing and agriculture can exist in tandem. Beers that belong full of balanced nuanced flavour and tempo. Everyday fresh pale ales and crisp pilsners using local grains and crops. Wild ales developed at a slower pace inoculated with native cultures, aged in wood and blended to taste. Our efficient brewhouse delivers deliciously balanced small batches focused on quality and consistency. We strive to be a clean business. Read more on our Bedrock here.

We are an independent founder led farmhouse brewery in Norfolk. Bates, our South Carolinian Brewer, along with co-founder and Londoner Miranda, got busy converting a 16th century barn as the stunning destination to pour time and place into our beer. After two years of collaborative and nomadic releases, Duration, one of the UK’s most anticipated modern breweries released our first Norfolk brewed beers in December 2019.

THINGS TO DO

Don’t let us limit you. Norfolk is all about good food provenance, getting out in nature, and enjoying nature and the stunning coastline. Check out this Out & About page.

Here are just a few of the days out we have enjoyed:

LOCAL TAPS (THAT POUR OUR BEER)

All offer great meals, a warm welcome, Duration on tap! Child and dog friendly, and all have beer gardens.

The Ffolkes has a complete and entirely enclosed adventure playground and outside bar!

Any one of these and a coffee and cake at the Apple Cafe inside the walled gardens our own West Acre Gardens are our favourite kind of day. As you approach the gardens see the large house once owned by the West Acre estate, now the country residence of artist Anthony Gormley who’s sculptures adorn the lawns.

FAMILY DAYS OUT

BEACH

Cley Next The Sea – Morning pitstop at Pastonacre Bakery, Cley Smokehouse, Picnic Fayre for lunch supplies. Drive a mile past the village to park and walk out to the beach along the high line and past the marshes (RSPB look out post). Enjoy beach hangs, see the Cley Windmill, browse the pottery shops, and head home via Back To The Garden for supplies from the farmshop and dinner in the dining room – great gardens too! Letheringsett Mill is close by and Holt village is a treasure trove of vintage antiques and clothing. The Chubby Seal beer cafe is great as is Wells Deli.

ADVENTURE PARK

Bewilderwood – Let your imagination, and your children run wild at a huge, award-winning forest of family fun and outdoor adventure. Treehouses, Wobbly Wires, Slippery Slopes, Crocklebogs, Twiggles and Boggles, storytelling, boat rides, marsh walks, and really yummy food! Plenty to smalls and pre-teens to do and enjoy. Our own Mila loved the den building area and also the 4D maze. Slides scary enough for adults to chicken out of. Take a picnic or enjoy the food on offer.

CULTURE

Norfolk has heaps of ancient history and maritime history, Sea Henge is fascinating as is the Kings Lynn Museum that has an exhibit explaining this 4,000BC landmark. The outdoor art exhibitions held at Houghton Hall are always popular. Some of the best ways to learn about a new region is by taking a country walk. West Acre was one of 5 Augustine Priory sites along the Nar Valley Way. Our beer uses Nar River water. A stroll along the river unlocks the past with the old mill house down by the ford and the bone mill over in Narborough. Learn more about local walking trails along the Icknield Way and onto Castle Acre where the Castle Acre Priory is far more preserved than West Acres. If passing be sure to call in on Wittles Cafe for supplies and duck into the antique shop too!

Our trade area has a ‘product assets’ download folder for your use in your online store and social media.

Product shots and social shares, founder and location photos for beer buyers, events and social media managers to freely use.

Digital assets of our beers including – product info sheets, keg badges, pour and product shots and more.

Producing quality balanced beer is our main focus. Sharing a beer in good company is our favourite pastime. Our location is too good to not share and as soon as we are able too, we’ll open for tours with a modest tap room to swing by and collect beers for your Norfolk day out.

Please visit our Tap Days and Events pages.

Planning permission to turn the south end gable into a future on site tap room has been granted as a phase 2 build.

100% we will do tours as soon as it is safe to do so. A guided tour around the brewery will show you our efficient 3 vessel brewery and state of the art canning line.
