## About

Cliff Quay Brewery was started by Jeremy Moss (formerly Wychwood Head Brewer) and John Bjornson in 2009, initially as an offshoot of their successful sister brewery, Earl Soham Brewery.

We started brewing in Feb 2009 in the old loading bay of the former Tolly Cobbold Brewery on the Cliff Quay, Ipswich; in the heart of the industrial dock area, an historic brewing site since the 1700’s. By 2012 it became obvious that the old loading bay we were in was at the end of its natural life, so we took the decision to relocate. We found a site in Debenham near our sister brewery in Earl Soham. 

We are proud of our products. We select our materials to give the best flavour and quality. We hope that you enjoy discovering the beers that we brew.
