ASHDON AMBER - Fine Craft Ale

ALL SAINTS - Old English Ale

5.8% ABV

This rich tawny beer is full of satisfying malty flavours due to a generous combination of barley and wheat malts. Brewed with traditional English Fuggle and East Kent Golding hops with a late addition of fragrant Slovenian Aurora to deliver a deliciously delicate spiciness and subtle hop aroma.

image3731

ABBEY GOLD - Belgian Pale Ale

5.2% ABV

Inspired by the complex fruity aroma of traditional Trappist ales, we've created a lighter, more refreshing pilsner style beer. By using Belgian abbey yeast and floral Saaz and Tettnang hops with Belgian Pilsner malt we've crafted a deliciously thirst-quenching hybrid ale, equally ideal served chilled on a warm summer's evening or in front of the fire place, keeping winter at bay!

image3732

CAMPS COMFORT - Winter Warmer

5.0% ABV

Our dark chestnut-coloured festive ale is brewed with a subtle hint of Christmas spices. The combination of barley and wheat malts layered with traditional English hops imparts a subtly sweet, dried fruits flavour and a distinctive nose of sherry and cinnamon. A perfect ale to be savoured through the long winter evenings.  SOLD OUT - NEW STOCK AVAILABLE LATER IN THE YEAR. 

image3733

MOSQUITO - India Pale Ale

6.2% ABV

Hopped in multiple stages through the brewing process with generous quantities of Amarillo, Chinook, Columbus and Cascade hops, this golden ale has a mouthwatering citrus aroma and a refreshing flavour with hints of grapefruit and lychee.  A dry hop stage is added during fermentation using whole leaf Liberty hops to give our American-style IPA a subtle spiciness, complimenting the citrus flavours provided by the hops added during the brew.

image3734

NIGHTHAWKER - Coffee Porter

4.6% ABV

An intense and complex porter brewed with roasted barley, dark crystal and chocolate malts and sustainably sourced freshly ground coffee. We use Challenger and Magnum hops to deliver a well-balanced bitterness and late addition Willamette and Belma hops for a complementing hint of red berries.

image3735

ROUGHACRE RED - Ruby Mild

3.8% ABV

A new take on an old-fashioned classic, 'Roughacre Red' is brewed with a perfectly balanced blend of wheat and barley malts to deliver a deliciously chocolaty, malty flavour. We use a combination of traditional Northdown and East Kent Golding hops to provide a satisfying light bitterness with Bramling Cross hops for a subtle spiciness and a delicately fruity aroma. Truly an ale for all seasons!

image3736

SAFFRON SUN - Golden Craft Lager

5.4% ABV

Brewed with flaked maize and fine pilsner malts, Saffron Sun is a crisp, refreshing craft lager.  We use Tettnang, Perle and aromatic Ultra hops to deliver delicious herbal, spicy and sweet honey notes.   SOLD OUT - NEW STOCK AVAILABLE IN THE SPRING.

More About Us...

image3739

Welcome to Roughacre Brewery!

Established in March 2018, we are a new and enthusiastic microbrewery based in the beautiful historic market town of Clare in West Suffolk.  With our passion for high quality, fine ales of character we are extremely proud of our tasty small-batch brews which currently range from classic amber ales and golden IPA to Belgian-style abbey ale and dark coffee porter... and quite a bit in between!

image3740

The Small-Batch Brewing Specialists

By using only the very finest malts and hops and producing each of our beers in small quantities we are able to create exceptional ales under tightly controlled conditions, testing and tweaking our recipes at every stage.  This method allows us to experiment with dozens of different beer styles as well as perfecting our more popular range of ales and craft lagers.

image3741

Supporting Pubs, Restaurants and Our Local Community

Our beers are available in both 330ml amber bottles and in casks (9-gal firkins and 4.5-gal pins) which we are now providing to pubs, restaurants, catering businesses and festivals in East Anglia and beyond.   All of our ales are bottle and cask conditioned, free from gelatine or other animal products and suitable for vegetarians.
