Woodforde's Brewery
Woodbastwick NR13 6SW
For most people main draw of the undeniably pretty village of Woodbastwick is Woodforde’s brewery, one of the best-known and most successful of Norfolk’s many independent brewers. The brewery is on the edge of the village, next to the Fur and Feather pub, and you can visit its shop and visitor centre and join one of their excellent tours, which take you through the whole of the brewing process and give you a brief tasting at the end. Wherry is their standard bitter, kept on tap at many pubs in the area, and it's an excellent and drinkable ale; but they also do a range of other beers, including the light and refreshing Sundew and the fearsomely strong Headcracker – all of which you can buy by the bottle in their well-stocked visitor centre, along with any number of Woodforde's glasses, baseball caps, t-shirts and other merchandise.
