Bury St Edmunds Ale Trail

Historic Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk is the perfect place to experience delicious real ale and unique craft beer.

Raise a glass in the Beer Capital of Suffolk and become part of a brewing history dating back 1,000 years. In 1086, monks were brewing ale on the site of the Great Abbey using water from Bury St Edmunds chalk wells which are still used today by Greene King, one of the UK’s largest breweries.

From award-winning public houses to unique bars, there is a great choice of real ale and craft beer as well as live music, beer festivals, and quiz nights throughout the year providing something for everyone! Mark your place in history, share your experience, tell others about your favourite pub, bar and venue on social media by using #BuryAleTrail.
