About All Day Brewing Company Norwich
The All Day Brewing Company Norwich was set up in 2014. We are based in a 500 year old barn on the Salle Moor Farm Estate in Mid-Norfolk. We are a farmhouse brewery, housed on a working farm with a 20 acre organic orchard attached. We specialise in wild and mixed fermentations, and we have a big barrel ageing project underway. We also try to ferment as many foods as we can for our kitchen. All beers and ciders are made on site, apart from the occasional beer swap with like-minded local brewers.
Wonderful local brewery near Norwich
The All Day Brewing Company Norwich idea was to run a brewery as far as we possibly could based around the farm we are on, and the local environment, making truly Norfolk beers. I had noticed that hops seemed to flourish in the hedgerows of Norfolk.There’s a history of Norfolk being used as a nursery for the Kent hopyards, I already knew that Norfolk grew the best barley in the world (some of it on the farm), so it seemed to make sense to grow some Norfolk hops, combine them with Norfolk barley, use water from the deep chalk borehole on the farm, and try and do something with them all. Oh, and we had access to a big old organic orchard, and that seemed to be a good thing.
Despite the naysayers who said “you can’t mix making cider with brewing beer – It’ll all go wrong”. In fact it went right, and our house mixed culture wild yeasts are derived from our barrel aged ciders, which have been blended with wild yeasts collected from the orchard and around the farm in general.
So, six years later, The All Day Brewing Company Norwich have a flourishing hopyard, a large wild yeast and other fermenting microbes and fungi thing going on, a 50 barrel rotating wild/mixed fermentation barrel store, a second part of the brewery producing more conventional beers, another part doing more kettle sour sort of sour beers, another doing organic apple cider, Kombucha going on, Odd, wonderful beers like Norfolk Watermelon Kombucha Sour Wheat Beer – we grew the watermelons, we made the Kombucha, we used it as a primary souring agent, then secondarily soured, then used lacto fermented watermelon rinds for a tertiary souring of the beer; Cucumber and Grape Gose (Norfolk Grapes); – Quince and Wormwood sour, etc…. . made with stuff we’ve grown in our polytunnels like wormwood, melons as mentioned, raspberries,blackberries, ginger, peaches, apricots – all going into our beers, all grown by us..Then the local community has provided us with such delights as Quinces, Cucumbers, Medlars, Grapes, all sorts of lovely stuff! It’s been such good fun. There is more to come.
