Little Earth Project Winds Down Brewing Operations After a Decade

The Little Earth Project, a brewery founded in 2015 by Tom Norton and his wife Dani Mountain in Edwardstone, near Sudbury, has announced its decision to wind down its brewing operations. The couple had established a reputation for producing a range of barrel-aged sour beers and had also taken on the neighboring White Horse Pub. However, due to the demands of the pub and the need to give the brewery the attention it deserves, the couple has decided to slow down production. Although the brewery building will be repurposed for other uses, the couple hopes to install a smaller brew kit in the future to produce a mix of clean and mixed ferm beer.
