Bungay is a market town and electoral ward in the English county of Suffolk. It lies in the Waveney valley, 5.5 miles west of Beccles on the edge of The Broads, and at the neck of a meander of the River Waveney. The origin of the name of Bungay is thought to derive from the Anglo-Saxon title Bunincga-haye, signifying the land belonging to the tribe of Bonna, a Saxon chieftain. Due to its high position, protected by the River Waveney and marshes, the site was in a good defensive position and attracted settlers from early times. Roman artefacts have been found in the region.
Bungay Castle was built by the Normans but was later rebuilt by Roger Bigod, 5th Earl of Norfolk and his family, who also owned Framlingham Castle. Bungay's village sign shows the castle. The Church of St. Mary was once the church of the Benedictine Bungay Priory, founded by Gundreda, wife of Roger de Glanville. The 13th-century Franciscan friar Thomas Bungay later enjoyed a popular reputation as a magician, appearing as Roger Bacon's sidekick in Robert Greene's Elizabethan comedy Frier Bacon and Frier Bongay.
Bungay was important for the printing and paper manufacture industries. Joseph Hooper, a wealthy Harvard graduate who fled Massachusetts when his lands were seized after the American Revolution, rented a mill at Bungay in 1783 and converted it to paper manufacture. Charles Brightly established a printing and stereotype foundry in 1795. Then in partnership with John Filby Childs, the business became Brightly & Childs in 1808 and later Messrs. Childs and Son. Charles Childs (1807–1876) succeeded his father as the head of the firm of John Childs & Son. The business was further expanded after 1876 as R. Clay and Sons, Ltd.
The railway arrived with the Harleston to Bungay section of the Waveney Valley Line opening in November 1860 and the Bungay to Beccles section in March 1863. Bungay had its own railway station near Clay's Printers. The station closed to passengers in 1953 and freight in 1964.
Local firms include Clays Printers and St. Peter's Brewery, based at St. Peter's Hall to the south of the town. In 2008 Bungay became Suffolk's first Transition Town and part of a global network of communities that have started projects in the areas of food, transport, energy, education, housing, and waste as small-scale local responses to the global challenges of climate change, economic hardship and limited of cheap energy.

Location: Bungay, Suffolk, England
Rating: 3.1 (0.0=worst 5.0=best)
Hmm... Starts off mildly sweet, but is overtaken by a bitterness that I'm not used to in a stout, much less a milk stout. Didn't really care for this, which is a shame because it looked really nice.

Bierevew: St. Peter's Golden Ale
The brewery at St. Peter's is housed in listed former agricultural buildings
which were last used in the late Sixties. They then became derelict but
offered a superb site both for a working brewery and a visitors' attraction.
Today, the brewery produces 'real ale', Over 90% of this is bottled, the
remainder being for cask beer with over half of our bottle volume is exported.
Our capacity is now 15,000 barrels per annum (83,000 pints per week).
Our oval Bottle is a 500ml copy of one from Gibbstown, near Philadelphia which
dates from c. 1770. It was produced for Thomas Gerrard, an innkeeper with a
tidewater inn on the Delaware River.
