Woodforde's is a Norfolk brewery founded in 1981 and based in Woodbastwick. Brewing with locally sourced ingredients and a strong connection to East Anglia, it produces a range of traditional and contemporary beers, including its nationally recognised Wherry.
Brewery story
Woodforde's was founded in Norfolk in 1981, emerging from the homebrewing movement and a belief that beer should reflect the land, people and character of the region.
The brewery is named after Parson James Woodforde, an eighteenth-century Norfolk clergyman and diarist known for recording his enjoyment of good food and beer.
Woodforde's moved to its current home in Woodbastwick in 1989, where it continues to brew using ingredients including barley grown across East Anglia.
Alongside its brewery, Woodforde's operates the neighbouring Fur & Feather brewery tap and shop, while brewery tours conclude with a tutored beer tasting in Nelson's Hideaway.
