West Norfolk’s Lynn Brewery won the Champion Bottle Conditioned Beer of Norfolk 2026 title for its Southgates Stout - a 4.7pc oatmeal stout - following its success in the 2025 competition.

In a joint statement, brewers Jason and Claire said: "We at Lynn Brewery are absolutely delighted.

"This recognition means a great deal to us, particularly following our 2025 win for Lynn Ferry Bitter."

Alan Edwards, chair of the Norfolk Taste Panel, praised their work and said: "Lynn Brewery are a fine example of the growing band of quality small brewers in Norfolk.

"Their beers have shown to be both flavoursome and consistent."
