About the Old Goat Brewery

The Old Goat brewery is located at The Stansfield Compasses in the south west corner of Suffolk county near Clare. The pub provides a charming setting in the hills above the River Glem Valley. Crafting fine ales in small batches and offering them in a 16th- century farmhouse pub creates a unique experience for ale enthusiasts.

It's been a journey and passion for Roy Elder, the owner and brewer of Old Goat Brewery. Since his first batches made in Ann Arbor Michigan and further honing his brewing skills in California, Roy's love for brewing has brought him to a new chapter here in Suffolk hills, where he and his partner, Alexis Rudd, have taken over the Compasses in Stansfield to establish Old Goat Brewery.

Their vision is to breathe new life into the once-neglected Compasses and restore it as the heart of the Stansfield community while serving as the flagship pub for the Old Goat brand. It's a great endeavor that combines a passion for brewing with revitalizing a local community asset.
