About Duration Brewing Limited

Duration Brewing is an independent, multi-award-winning farmhouse brewery based at Abbey Farm in West Acre, Norfolk. We brew beautifully balanced fresh beers and wild ales from our high-end brewhouse in a restored historic barn, combining modern brewing technology with a strong connection to our rural setting. Our ethos is to make ‘Beers That Belong’ , beers with a sense of time and place, brewed from nature with purpose. We are a small, close-knit team that values quality, curiosity, collaboration and continuous improvement. Alongside brewing and packaging, we run a taproom, shop, tours and events, welcoming people to enjoy our beer where it is made. What makes Duration unique is the connection between our beer, our historic site, agriculture and the Norfolk landscape.
