Tryangle Tavern the Home of Green Jack Brewery

The Triangle Tavern is a lovely pub with a good range of ales.
The pub is propper spit and sawdust in a modern stylee and the
posters adorning the wall were all beer related. Belgium ales
are on tap and they even had some rum aged cider which was
Chris's choice.. I went for Mahseera ipa which was on good form
and went down too well. My second choice was the Canary from
Green Jack this to me was malty and to me a little tasteless. I
did keep away from the beak you'll be glad to know. Green Jack
Brewery do some really good beers and the pub which is the
brewery tap is a must try if in this area.. They put some loud
music on when we went into the second room of the large pub I
guess because we were a bunch of youngish trendy types
together; And if you
really believe that you are so foolish!

this pub is surely Lowestoft's treasure. br> They even do a yard of ale drinking competition and the Triangle
Tavern yard of ale champion 2007 is Doski who finished it in 18
seconds which is not to be sniffed at.

Bar snacks included pickled eggs and rollmops. mmmm, what more
does a bloke require at half 12 on a Satterday afternoon.

Later in our short visit we went around the back of the pub and
had a look around the brewery. Green Jack had a 10 barrel plant and
apart from the St Jude’s brewery in Ipswich it is the smallest Jaid and I
have ever been in. In fact the brewer told us they produce more
beer per square foot than any other British brewer. they use
challenger and pioneer for bittering, then a large selection of
others including steerian and goldings hops. The brewery is
computer controlled and they tell us that this keeps consistency
to a rather better degree than the old manual plant. The water
quality is good for brewing and it is a little hard so this is
adjusted. The success of Ripper has rased Green Jack's profile
over the last year but because it is an 8,5 percent beer they
don't shift large volumes.

Good touch before we moved on we were given nibbles. Warm and friendly pub. Will go back.
