BLACKFRIARS
Blackfriars cask-conditioned beers have the taste of tradition running right through them. From the
bottom of the glass to the foaming head, our clean-tasting real ales are made by beer lovers and
enjoyed by everyone who loves good beer.
Opened in 2004, awarded-winning Blackfriars brought brewing back to Great Yarmouth 36
years after the closure of the famous Lacons brewery.
In September 2008 the brewery moved to larger premises on Main Cross Road in Great
Yarmouth. The new premises are located in a converted courtyard building, where Scottish
girls famously packed the "silver darlings" (herring) over a hundred years ago.
The brewery now boasts a shop and visitor centre, detailing the history of brewing in Great
Yarmouth. Many of the beers the brewery produces can be sampled in the fully licensed
Brewery Tap. Visitors can also tour the brewery by prior arrangement.(Minimum group size 15)
