Duration Brewing – Sweeping Coast

Bright, crisp & coastal — a refreshing pale ale shaped by Norfolk’s wild shoreline

Sweeping Coast is a clean, modern pale ale brewed at Duration’s award-winning farmhouse brewery in West Acre, Norfolk. Inspired by the ever-changing coastline of the county, this beer captures the feeling of fresh air, wide horizons and windswept beaches — crisp, invigorating and full of clarity.

Where many modern pale ales lean hazy and juicy, Sweeping Coast stays bright, clear and refreshing, offering a more classic, West Coast-leaning profile with Duration’s signature finesse. Expect citrus brightness, gentle pine, soft floral notes and a snappy bitterness that keeps you coming back for more.

Balanced, crisp and endlessly drinkable, Sweeping Coast is a beer made for long walks, good food and honest, uncomplicated enjoyment.
