It may have emerged as a major beer style of London but hey, it’s only a short hop and a skip from there to Suffolk.

And back in the day, much of Suffolk’s barley crop headed south west to satisfy the demand for what soon became London’s major beer style.

Dark beers have been a major part of Suffolk’s heritage ever since, now reaching a logical conclusion in the guise of Paladin.

No, it’s not Irish; yes, it is different. It is also incredibly moreish. We’re not looking to make people switch allegiances...

...(erm, actually we are); what we really offer is just the chance to expand horizons and open the way to new, more local and alternative options. Our stout may not pack as much of a punch alcohol wise as they did in the good old days, but boy oh boy does it make up for that in flavour. Rich, complex, wonderfully harmonious and yet, extremely understated. PALADIN is a reflection of the countryside from which it was born.
