ARTEFACT BREWING CORE COLLECTION
Our core range features a mix of traditional and modern styles, all brewed with our passion for producing high quality beers, which often appeal to a wide audience for their carefully-balanced flavours and drinkability. We are always impressed at how many ‘non-beer-drinkers’ will try our beers at events and walk away happy with a pint of Artefact. Â
Our core range is available in bottle and mini kegs, and cask/keg formats (for pubs and beer festivals). We can also provide cask ‘bag-in-box’ beers for private events. Please get in touch to discuss your plans and how we can help. You can buy our beers in person or online from our official bottle shop partner, Beautiful Beers via the link below.
Ixworth Blonde
Our classic blonde ale, named after the village where we are based, this easy-drinking light beer is one of our classics and full of sweet malty flavours, with a subtle citrus note on the finish. Made gluten-free so that even more people can enjoy this great all-rounder of a beer.
ABV 4%Â
SESSION PALE ALE
Designed to be light and super-sessionable, this beauty of a beer is one of our hoppiest brews and always a popular one, with a good balance of citrus and tropical fruits. Brewed with New Zealand Nelson Sauvin and American Citra, Mosaic and Azacca hops, you can expect grapefruit, white grape and citrus flavours from our trusty Session Pale.
ABV 4%Â
DARK MILD
Our take on a Dark Mild packs in a lot of flavour and a very full body for its 3.2% alcohol strength. Expect lots of rich roast malt character with hints of chocolate, coffee and treacle. Fun fact, the Dark Mild was our very first release in May 2020. People often comment that you don’t see Milds anymore – so we’re happy to buck the trend there.
ABV 3.2%Â
Finally an ESB
A fruity copper coloured extra special bitter (ESB) with a good amount of caramel and biscuit character, this is a great beer for drinking down the pub! An often understated beer style, this is one of James’ personal favourites. Called ‘Finally an ESB’ because James wanted to brew one for ages before we released this beer, it originally started out as a seasonal special before becoming part of the core range due to its popularity.Â
ABV 5.6%Â
Amber Haze IPA
Strong, sweet and hoppy, this beer is somewhere between a British Strong Ale and a traditional West-Coast IPA, packed with sweet caramel, assertive bitterness and tropical fruits, making it a big hit at beer festivals and a nice one to keep in the fridge at home! The sweet, chewy malt character is achieved by mashing high during the brewing process and the combination of Azacca, Hallertau Blanc and Chinook hops give this beer a rounded fruitiness without being overly citrusy.Â
ABV 6.7%Â
Kviek Black IPA
An inky, roasty and citrusy beer, this Black IPA packs something a bit different. Expect smooth coffee, rich robust malt and notes of pine and citrus from the hops. A bold and creamy mouthfeel is achieved from the Norwegian Kviek yeast, giving this beer a premium feel. If you like dark beers, this is one not to be missed! Our Kviek Black IPA proudly has two Great Taste stars, as well as a National Bronze SIBA Award and is often compared to an Indian Porter in terms of style. Â
ABV 6.5%Â
A SMALL BREWERY WITH A BIG RANGE
Obsessed with experimenting with different beers, we have released more than 40 different small-batch, seasonal and/or limited edition brews so far, including a special 8.6% Belgian Dark Strong Ale, a 4.5% Earl Grey Blue Lady infused Pale Ale and limited-edition collabs with the well-known Old Chimney’s brewery.Â
We are always collaborating and trying out new things! Follow us to be the first to hear about new and seasonal releases throughout the year.
