Shout it loud - ABBOT ALE this week!


It is widely considered amongst many of our yellow & green supporting regulars, that not much of any worth comes out of Suffolk, however there are a few exceptions to this rule. 

Perhaps close to the top of the acceptable Suffolk export list is the utterly awesome GREENE KING ABBOT ALE (my mouth is already watering as I type this!) 

The famous Domesday Book chronicles "cerevisiarii" or 'ale brewers' as servants of the Abbot in Bury St Edmunds Great Abbey. The Greene King brewery sits alongside the historic ruins of the Abbey and to this day their brewers still draw water from the same chalk wells used by brewing predecessors all those years ago.


At 5% ABV there may be a few who choose to "warm-up" with a couple of pints of something slightly lighter and with our new cellar cooling system up an running, our other regular Suffolk export, Adnams Lighthouse has never tasted better.

See you all on Thursday & Friday from 8pm.
