Lowestoft/Hopton

Green Jack (e.g. from their Triangle Tavern, Lowestoft) I'd say, but I've not lived in E Anglia for q a while.

They bought the sizeable brewplant from Oakham's brewpub (P'boro) & have always made some damn fine beer.

Save room for a nightcap of Ripper - very stylish strong 'un (former Champ Winter Beer of Britain).

According to their website they've got a beer fest coming up - "Next Real Ale Beer Festival is at the Triangle Tavern, Lowestoft, Starting Thursday 20th AUGUST til stocks last!!"

Great stuff! Thanks!

Agree with the Triangle Tavern recommendation. Also a bit further away in Bungay, the Green Dragon is worth a visit (they brew their own beers). Not too far from Bungay is St Peter's hall, home of St Peter's brewery. There's a bar in the hall itself and a shop adjacent which sells their bottled beers.

Finally, much further away but a must visit if you get the chance is the Low House (King's Head) at Laxfield. Not particularly for the beers (standard Adnams range plus a guest) but for the pub itself which is a classic. If you go there, the Low House is off the High Street behind the churchyard.
