St. Peter's is an independent brewery founded in 1996 by John Murphy in former agricultural buildings adjacent to St. Peter's Hall in St Peter, South Elmham, near Bungay in the English county of Suffolk. In 2021, St Peter's was sold to independent investors, including the current CEO, Derek Jones, who has since expanded and modernised the brewery while still making the same beers.

The brewery produces cask ale but is best known for its cold-filtered bottled beers, the most popular of which are Pale Ale, Cream Stout, and 0.0% Without.

In September 2023, the business acquired [https://curiousbrewery.com/ Curious Brewery] and its subsidiary [https://www.wildbeerco.com/ Wild Beer]. The expanded group now produces a range of craft ales, lagers, and unique brews.

The beers

The brewery produces around twelve regular beers plus another six seasonal. St Peter's is known for its organic beers. A gluten-free beer, G-Free TM was launched late in 2007 and is approved and licensed by Coeliac UK.

The oval shape of its signature 500 ml bottle is based on an 18th-century gin bottle from Gibbstown, by the Delaware River near Philadelphia, but a round version is also common.
