Our approach at Humber Doucy Brewery is based on one very simple belief – a love of Suffolk. We are based in the beautiful Suffolk countryside at Bacton – just check out the video on our website to appreciate our stunning surroundings. We use Suffolk ingredients as much as possible – often from the fields we can see from the brewery. We even name our beers after Suffolk places and inspiration.
We have combined the two big loves in our lives – beer and Suffolk – to run Humber Doucy Brewery. You can see why we love going to work 😍
A Suffolk Summer
We genuinely love Suffolk at any time of year, but there is something particularly special about a Suffolk summer. The rolling fields full of barley, the never-ending skies, the coastline – and the fantastic events held in our local communities. There is nothing better than a Saturday afternoon on a village green drinking a Suffolk brew, catching up with neighbours and the sounds and sights of a summer fayre.
Suffolk Summer Celebrations
Before we know it, weekends will be packed with festivals, fayres and markets taking place throughout our county. From festival fields to town centres, village schools to charity fundraisers. Humber Doucy loves supporting Suffolk’s local summer events.
We really do have some of the best events in this county. From Ipswich Music Day, the largest free one-day festival in the UK, to village school fetes, and everything in between. Our market squares, country estates and village greens are perfect venues.
