To celebrate the launch of their new website, Lacons – the historic Great Yarmouth brewer – is celebrating by giving away a case of their flagship ale, Encore – CAMRA’s Champion Golden Ale of Norfolk.
The Lacons story dates back to 1760, when its original brewery was nestled in Great Yarmouth’s medieval Market Rows. Over the centuries it grew in size many times to a site spanning several acres.
Today, the brewer crafts a range of four core ales that are available in many pubs throughout the region all year around, alongside a range of heritage and popular seasonal brews, plus some new and delicious craft beers.
All of Lacons ales are crafted by hand at Falcon Brewery and visitor centre in Great Yarmouth with local Norfolk Maris Otter barley, the finest whole cone hops and authentic Lacons yeast, last deposited at the National Collection of Yeast Cultures in 1959.
The brewery is currently midway through a major reinvestment plan, which will allow them to meet the growing demand for its multi award-winning range all over the UK. As work continues, Lacons has just unveiled a brand new website, where avid ale fans can journey back through history, buy ale online and keep up-to-date with the latest news from the brewery.
Next year the Great Yarmouth brewer is set to also showcase its ales at CAMRA’s National Winter Ales Festival, which is coming to Norwich during February. Throughout the year other regional events will be supported by the brewer so keep an eye out for the sign of the Falcon!
