In Oct 2018 we began a 10-month build-out to renovate a 16th century barn and build our brewery at Abbey Farm in the idyllic rural village of West Acre,  Norfolk. Kings Lynn train station is 10 miles away with direct trains running every hour to Kings Cross, London (90mins). We are 50 miles from Cambridge.

We are midway along the Nar Valley pilgrim trail and on a popular cycle route and on the main road up to the stunning North Norfolk coastline. Nestled in ancient woodlands, by the banks of a chalk river and a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), we sit amidst the ruins of an old priory. Our site is also deemed a scheduled monument by English Heritage.

Our village hosts a theatre a village pub, and a arts centre that runs yoga and various creative workshops for all ages. There are several accommodation options all with a few miles from campsites, to glamping, B&B’s to luxury self catering. In June at our village fete you can enjoy arts, crafts, local produce and live music. We also have a bonfire night celebration in November each year.

Most definitely!

We will focus on producing beer first, nomadically while our facility is built, then in-house.

We will have a modest tap room and small shop on site.  It will be licensed so you can stop in for a tour and taster as you collect some beers for your Norfolk day out.  We will hold events here too.

We have planning permission to turn the south end gable into a tap room on site. This will be built later it as a phase 2 – once we are in full swing.

Duration brewing makes wild ales and fresh beers from nature with purpose. Our brewer Bates wrote a blog post about our beers here.

Our German engineered brewhouse allows maximum efficiency and less waste. Designed with the future in mind we reclaim waste energy and conserve and recycle our water reducing our impact, using local agricultural produce in our beer and producing impeccably consistent fresh pale ales and pilsners.

A koelschip in the winter months will use wild yeasts and strains native to the farm lending terroir to our premium farmhouse produce. Our wilder ales will age in wood on foraged and local fruits and we will blend young and old stock to taste.

We are releasing beers ad-hoc brewing nomadically and collaboratively while our facility is built (after 18months planning).

Next Releases:

Nov 2018

• The Ground Up – Sour IPA 6.5%
  Brewed collaboratively with Boxcar x Duration x Unity. Equal parts hoppy and funky, this Farmhouse IPA is lightly soured and fermented on a blend of saison and Bruxellensis Trois yeast, with a massive dry hop of Styrian Wolf and Dragon.

Dec 2018

• Ebb & Flow – 6.5% – American Stout A refreshingly uncomplicated go-to dark beer with a lighter roast for drinkability. No 12% or marshmallows. Taste may Ebb & Flow, but with this dark beer, less is most definitely more. Simcoe and Centennial hops for piney qualities and an English Ale blend of yeast for fruit notes.
• Bet The Farm – 4.5% – Continental Pale A sessionable ‘pilsner-esque’ beer hoppy and crisp. Dry and elegantly balanced. Light and floral, it ends with refreshing hop bitterness. Once taken in-house watch this evolve into our farmhouse pale because you ain’t living unless you’ve Bet The Farm.
• Turtles All The Way Down – 5.5% – American Pale This juicy American Pale is double dry hopped with a rounded body with a soft bitterness. Juice bombs are undeniably the beer-du-jour – and this is no exception being entirely tropical in the aroma.

Jan 2019

• If We Must – 8% – Double IPA with grape pressings This complete juice bomb of a beer was first brewed with Verdant in Nov 2017. Tropical aroma, rich in mouthfeel yet beautifully dry to the finish. It drinks like a 5% making it a dangerous but stunning beer packed full of grape pressings from local Cornish vineyard Polgoon.
• 18:12 – 5.2% Bretted Pale A beer made with Brew By Numbers where Bates used to be head brewer will be out in 750ml sharing bottles.  In their farmhouse series 18:12 takes inspiration from Belgian’s monastic brewery Orval that makes but one beer (to perfection in our view) – a classic and beautiful Bretted Pale Ale.

Feb 2019

• West Coast DIPA – 8% – North Brewing Co – DIPA We craved some old school bitterness and headed up to Leeds to the legends at North to brew a beer that hits your palate like it’s 2005.
• A Place at the Table – 3.3% – Double Barrelled – Table Beer Our collab with Double Barrelled is a citrusy delight a silky full-bodied mouthfeel for a 3.3% beer. A deft interplay of malt, hops and Voss Kviek  yeast. Pours a bright hazy orange with a small white head. Aromas of citrus, orange peel and ripe mango from the hops and yeast. Finishes with a soft mouth feel and a very short bitterness. Hoping this one earns us A Place at the Table.

Mar 2019

• Small Doses – 3.7% – Lil’ Pilsner Do you ever want a simple beer for straight up refreshment? This low ABV Pilsner is dry, lightly floral and invigorating. Clean and crisp with accentuated German hops. Sometimes you just need the world in Small Doses
• Deep Roots – 3.5% – Carrot Witbier / Saison Good things take time. Relationships, brewery projects, even carrot beers! This Saison is our take on a Belgian Wit using purple haze carrots and charred lemons. In life and beer we’re always evolving and learning. Take things slow and set down Deep Roots
• Strategic Partnership – 6.5% – Left Handed Giant We’ve tweaked re-brew this IPA the first brew on LHG’s new kit, after 3 years of being nomadic brewers. It will be out in cans as well this time!
