Little Earth Project is a forward thinking craft brewery with its roots firmly in the beautiful countryside of Suffolk. We produce mixed fermentation beers, that, much like sour dough bread and natural wine, harvest the power of wild yeast and bacteria to produce a unique flavour.

By using a combination of wild yeast we source from the lees of our own cider, Castlings Heath Cottage, as well as organic hops and barley that we grow ourselves on a field only 3 miles from the brewery, plus ingredients foraged from abundant local hedgerows, we can produce beers that are true representations of Suffolk in a glass.

Our beers are produced in small batches, between 200-800L at a time, which are then moved to wooden oak barrels to rest for anywhere from 3 months to 2+ years, depending on how it develops. This natural, organic approach is applied to all parts of the business and ethos of Little Earth Project, as well as our pub, The White Horse Inn.

The brewery was built with the environment in mind. We are lucky to have our own borehole on site for water supply and both the brewery and pub next door are equipped with thermal solar panels to assist in heating the water/HLT. Using coppiced wood from nearby Groton, we are able to heat the pub in the winter via two wood burners, as well as top up the boiler in the brewery. Coppicing wood is a form of woodland management which encourages growth without cutting down trees in their entirety. The brewery, itself, is also built using local wood, brick and lyme plaster, which is a low embodied energy material. Once we have brewed our beers, the malt and hop waste is taken to the field where we grow our organic hops and is used as compost and mulch in the winter months.
