Norfolk Brewhouse home of Moon Gazer Ale
Norfolk Brewhouse is owned and run by Rachel and David Holliday, supported by a dedicated small team – all sharing a passion for crafting distinctive, high-quality beers and lager.
The brewery started in 2012, has breathed new life into a redundant old barn, surrounded by arable farmland in North Norfolk.
Its rural setting – right in the heart of the County’s finest malting barley region – is just the start.
We make the most that is around us – using chalk-filtered water from the brewery’s own well and Norfolk’s best malting barley Maris Otter. Incidentally, the spent brewing grains are fed to some very grateful local cows.
Even the names of our beers ‘Moon Gazer’ Jigfoot, Jumper, Nibbler, and Pintail, along with award winning lagers Dewhopper and Stubblestag were inspired by the wildlife around us – the majestic and energetic brown hare and the stunning sight of wild hares transfixed by the moon.
Then with an added twist of modern thinking, hop varieties from around the world, nifty innovation and some very up-to-date brewing kit and you get hand-crafted beers and lagers which ensure every drop is as good as the last.
