The museum has a new video - playing as a silent movie as they haven't got their entertainment licence sorted out yet. It is quite hilarious, especially silent, telling the story "Trouble at Mill" in black and white, set in a pub called "The Mill", where the landlord gets a dodgy temporary manager in while he goes off to Felixstowe on holiday. Great hammy acting. The pub in the film is instantly recognisable, to those who have been there, as The Fox Inn on Eastgate Street.
So we left the girls watching the video and went on the tour. It was only the two of us, but our guide didn't seem to mind. The tour takes about an hour and a half, and starts by going up to the roof where the water tanks are.

We worked our way down the building, past the malt mixing and screening and hop floors to the mash tuns.


The tour ends in the brewery tap, where we got to sample 4 beers on tap (Ale Fresco, Speckled Hen, IPA and Abbot) and 2 in bottle (Beer to Dine For and Suffolk Strong Ale).
