Barsham Brewery

Estate-Grown Norfolk Craft Beer

 

Field-to-glass beers brewed in North Norfolk using estate-grown barley

Barsham Brewery is one of Norfolk’s most distinctive and respected independent breweries, producing characterful, well-balanced beers that are rooted firmly in the county’s agricultural heritage. Based on the historic West Barsham Estate in North Norfolk, the brewery takes a truly rare approach to brewing — growing its own malting barley on the estate and brewing beers that reflect the land they come from.

This “field-to-glass” philosophy makes Barsham Brewery a natural fit for The Norfolk Deli and a firm favourite with customers looking for authentic, locally brewed Norfolk beer.

About Barsham Brewery

Barsham Brewery was founded in 2012 on the West Barsham Estate, a working agricultural estate with generations of farming heritage behind it. What began as a way to add value to the estate’s high-quality barley has grown into one of Norfolk’s most recognisable craft breweries.

Unlike many modern breweries, Barsham grows its own malting barley — a crucial ingredient that gives their beers consistency, depth and a strong sense of place. Brewed using traditional methods and modern quality controls, Barsham’s beers are known for their clean flavours, balance and drinkability.

Many of the range is gluten-reduced and vegan-friendly, making them accessible to a wide range of beer lovers without compromising on flavour.
