Long Melford

The Heart of the Brewhouse

Where the magic happens (and the malt smells best).

Our home at Rodbridge Corner in Long Melford is more than just a production site; it’s a two-acre cradle of creativity. This is the source of every pint of Old Growler, brewed using local water from our very own well in the Stour Valley. Whether you're here to stock up your fridge or settle in for a session, you're at the very center of our story.

  • The Taproom & Shop: Enjoy our beers at their freshest, with several cask ales on handpump and our modern Growling Dog series on keg. The atmosphere is friendly, rustic, and always welcoming.
  • Brewery & Distillery Tours: Take a "grain to glass" journey through our 45-barrel plant. You’ll see the mash tuns, fermenters, and meet Bonnie & Clyde—our unique copper stills where we craft Melford’s Gin.
  • Community Spirit: From quiz nights and live music to seasonal events, our taproom is a hub of social activity for the region.
