St. Peter's is an independent brewery founded in 1996 by John Murphy in former agricultural buildings adjacent to St. Peter’s Hall in Bungay, Suffolk, England.
The brewery produces cask ales, but are best known for their cold filtered bottled beers. The oval shape of their signatory 500 ml bottle is based on an 18th-century gin bottle from Gibbstown, by the Delaware River near Philadelphia but a round version is also common.
Owner John Murphy founded the marketing consultancy Interbrand and was admitted to an honorary degree of Doctor of Social Sciences at Brunel University in 2001. The brewery also owns The Jerusalem Tavern, a pub in Clerkenwell, London.
The brewery produces around twelve regular beers plus another six seasonal. St Peter's is known for its organic beers. A gluten free beer, G-Free TM was launched late in 2007 and is approved and licensed by Coeliac UK.
