Where do you want to go?
The beer comes first
Find your next favourite.
Malt-led British classics and brighter pale ales. Two sides of the same brewery, given equal attention.
Victory ESB
Caramel and biscuit malt, subtle darker notes and a clean, drier finish.
Atlantic Pale Ale
Balanced fruitiness and firm bitterness over a clean pale malt base.
Nightwatch
Chocolate, caramel and gentle roast. Full upfront, dry on the finish.
Independent brewery, not a pub brand
A small brewery with its own direction.
Diplomat Brewing shares a location and a story with The Diplomat pub, but it is its own brewery. We brew for good pubs across Norfolk as well as the bar next door.
Traditional methods stay when they matter. New ideas earn their place when they make the beer better.

Beer for Thought
Thoughts on beer, brewing, pubs and occasionally wondering whether we have improved something by making it worse.
