Stein Masters 2025 Sponsors

Ampersand Brew Co.

27-31 Sawmills Rd, Diss IP22 4GG

Ampersand Brew Co. began life in a converted barn on the Hipwell family farm, founded by the passionate family team of Amy, Andy, and Adrian. Since those early days, they’ve grown into a modern, bespoke brewery now based in Diss, producing high-quality, small-batch beers that reflect their simple but effective philosophy: to brew the beer they want to drink, to the highest standard possible. And it shows — their beers consistently speak for themselves. Ampersand have always been fantastic supporters of Norwich Amateur Brewers, generously sharing their time, knowledge, and enthusiasm with our community. We’re proud to celebrate a brewery that not only produces outstanding beer, but also champions the local brewing scene.
