Duration Brewing in Norfolk are to release a new core range of five beers available year round in keg and can alongside five seasonal releases.
Core Line Up
End Up 3.0% Table Pale – Crisp | Citrus | Light
Good Times 4.2% American Light Lager – Crisp | Sweet | Malt
Another Day Done 4.4% Juicy Pale – Juicy | Mango | Citrus
Turtles 5.5% IPA – Tropical | Juicy | Soft
Bet The Farm Fermata Range 5.2% Farmhouse Pale – Vinous | Tropical | Spicy
Head Brewer Derek Bates said: “Our core range has a lager, two pales (table and a session) and an IPA plus we added a Farmhouse Pale brewed over in our barrel store. Together these perfectly represent Duration’s love of fresh beers and wild ales made to reflect our beautiful farmhouse setting”.
He added: “We have seen a shift in drinking habits of late, moving away from perennial newness to placing value on a consistently delivered core range. I enjoy brewing and drinking across a diverse range of beer styles.
“Experimentation and creativity that are undeniably at the heart of craft brewing, but some drinkers can be put off by too much choice. Where you are new to craft or an experienced drinker, there is a beautiful simplicity to picking up a 6 pack and knowing exactly what you’re getting – and that’s what our core beers are for”.
To celebrate the arrival of the new core range, Duration will be giving first pours of Another Day Done 4.4% Juicy Pale, alongside all the rest of the core range both at the brewery, across venues in Norfolk and beyond on Friday 17th March. All core beers will be available either on draught or in the fridges in can and bottle.

Managing director Miranda Hudson added: “Another Day Done launch event will give people the opportunity to come out and try the full core range.
“Artist Shaun Lynch has really outdone himself on the artwork with a romantic and beautiful scene depicting a day in the life at the brewery. Hops and barley adorn the historic stone barn at twilight, with two brewers closing up for the day. Light spills out from the barn doors revealing the glow from the brewhouse inside”.
“As for the others in our core, Turtles our most popular beer had to stay, with a shift to lower strength styles we will make Turtles our IPA. Another Day Done is a brand new Juicy Pale Ale joining the line up.
“Good Times American Light Lager and End Up Table Pale are our lower strength options, and Good Times will also be available to trade in 50 litre kegs which is a first for us. Bet The Farm Farmhouse Pale is a wild card from our Fermata Range over in the barrel store. Being mixed fermentation it is more nuanced and we are excited to have it to the pack”.
Seasonal Line Up
Cuttin’ Grass 4.5% Italian Pilsner – Crisp | Lemon | Dry
Dripping Pitch 6.7% West Coast IPA – Bold | Fruity | Bitter
Harvest Bier 5.5% Märzen – Malty | Dry | Clean
Ebb & Flow 6.5% American Stout – Roasty | Resinous | Stone Fruit
Fortitude 8.5% Imperial Stout – Rich | Bittersweet Chocolate | Roasted Coffee
Miranda Hudson explained: “The seasonal beers have some bigger hitters in there – three are over 6.5% in strength while two are more session drinkers!
“All will be released in time for the season’s change and luckily we have managed to ensure all seasonals are available to trade now too. They include an Italian Pilsner for spring, a West Coast IPA for summer, a Märzen for autumn, and two stouts one American and one Imperial for winter”.
