Jasper Murdocks Alehouse at Norwich Inn

Jasper Murdocks Alehouse at Norwich Inn

In 1993 we revived this brewing tradition at the Norwich Inn when Jasper Murdock's Alehouse began producing traditional English-style ales in 5-gallon glass jugs. By 1995 an historic livery building was renovated and outfitted with a new four-barrel brewhouse, enabling 125-gallon batches. Though the vessels are now larger, we remain perhaps the smallest brewery in America, with an annual production of less than 200 barrels. Jasper Murdock's Ales are sold only at the Norwich Inn. As in days gone by, we make just enough ale for the brewer and our guests. Jasper Murdock's Ales are crafted from fine English malts, with hops grown in England and in our own hop garden here at the Inn. Because filtration can strip flavor and body from a beer, the ale yeast is allowed to settle out naturally in an extended cold-aging period to ensure that all the goodness reaches your palate. The beer is then pumped underground from the beer cellars to our pub at the Inn, or packaged in jumbo 22-ounce bottles for sale in our Bottle Shop.
