The Iceni brewery is situated on the edge of the Thetford Forest, in the Brecklands area of Norfolk The name Iceni is derived from the Iceni tribe who were ruled by Queen Boudicca and occupied most of Norfolk and Suffolk around 61 AD (over 2000 years ago). The brewery is owned and managed by former food industry worker, Brendan Moore. In January 1995, Brendan began brewing beer commercially for retail. Over the years the shop opened, and bottling and packing processes began, which enabled a new market for tourism and guided tours for enthusiasts.
