FAQs

 

Duration is an independent multi award-winning brewery in West Norfolk headed up by Bates our South Carolinian brewer and Londoner Miranda. We opened in late 2019 after 2 years of collaborative and nomadic brewing as one of the UK’s most anticipated and exciting modern breweries. Our high-end brewhouse sits our majestic converted 16th stone barn in West Acre amidst barley fields along the Nar Valley Way. We pour time and place into every beer producing perfectly balanced 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. Every day fresh pale ales and crisp pilsners using local grains and crops. Signature and seasonal releases brewed in small rotational batches. Limited quantity releases of slow and spontaneous beer from our barrel store as they become available. Our wild mixed fermentation ales are developed at a slower pace inoculated with native cultures, aged in wood and blended to taste. Deliciously balanced small batches focused on quality and consistency and brewed as sustainabily as possible to always give back more than we take from our moment in time.
