Let the Good Times Flow 🍻🌸

Spring is in the air. The days are stretching out. The casks are conditioning nicely.

Which can only mean one thing…

Our Easter Beer Festival 2025 is almost here — and it’s shaping up to be one of our biggest and best yet.

From Thursday 17th to Monday 21st April, we’ll be throwing open the brewery gates in Long Melford for five days of great beer, brilliant food, live music and proper festival atmosphere.

And yes — the beer tent is back. Bigger than ever.

The Beer Tent

We’ll be pouring 36+ cask ales across the weekend.

Expect a mix of:

• Seasonal brews from our own brewhouse

• Festival favourites

• Special guest ales from brewing friends

• And perhaps a surprise or two

From bright golden ales and hop-forward IPAs to rich porters and deep, dark stouts — every pint will be lovingly pulled and ready to enjoy.

Whether you’re a seasoned cask explorer or simply after a cracking spring pint with friends, there’ll be something with your name on it.

Members’ Preview Night 🍺

If you’re part of our Members’ Club, you’re in for a head start.

On Wednesday 16th April, we’ll be hosting an exclusive preview evening — giving members early access to the beer list and a chance to soak up the atmosphere before the main festival begins.

It’s our small way of saying thank you for your continued support.

Not a member yet? There’s always time.
