The Old Canon Brewery

Bury St Edmunds:

We’d been recommended this as one of the very few non-Green King pubs in town. It was a few minutes walk north of the centre, in a quiet residential street, and we were expecting to like it a lot: something other than GK beer, microbrewery on site.

In the event, it didn’t hit the spot: staff were friendly enough, but the microbrewery seemed like a gimmick, with the bright, chromed vessels in the bar area seeming like mere decoration, and a lot of tables reserved for food. The bar snacks were a bit hipstery too. The beer we had was in fine condition, but didn’t inspire, but we may have chosen badly- but the lack of any notes explaining on the pump clips made choosing more difficult.
