Abbot Ale
Abbot Ale gets its name from the connection between brewing and the great Abbey of St Edmundsbury. There has been brewing in Bury St Edmunds since at least as far back as 1086 when cerevisiarii - or alebrewers - were chronicled in the Domesday Book as servants of the Abbot. Indeed, even today the master brewers still draw water from wells sunk into the same chalk beds under Bury St Edmunds as those early alebrewers did. one of the pirate Norsemen plundering the coasts of Europe in the 8th to 10th centuries Icelanders came from Norway, and most of them were vikings, came here because they didn´t like to live undar the king of Norway.
