Brewery history of the Panther Brewery

When Reepham brewery called time in 2009 the award winning beer stopped flowing, the mash tun was abandoned and the hops order cancelled. I (Martin) had just been made redundant and decided to make sure the next career move was into something I really enjoyed. I decided to take a gamble and turn my hobby into a business in December 2010.

The name of the new brewery is a result of the inhabitants of the small Norfolk town of Reepham claiming to have seen a large panther-like cat prowling and secretly stalking the countryside. Our handcrafted ale is dedicated to this beautiful animal. Deliciously balanced with poise and a sleek finish, it is a celebration of the beast’s cunning and prowess.

We are keen to support Norfolk’s suppliers and source ingredients needed for the ale locally.
