Grain Brewery launched a drive-thru from its Alburgh base, near Harleston, in March this year at the beginning of lockdown, so locals could buy fresh beer while the pubs were closed.
It is still open every Thursday and Friday afternoon and once customers have ordered using contactless payment they drive to the front of the brewhouse to collect their drinks.
Directors and couple Phil and Hilary Halls wanted to do something special for Halloween this year, with children missing out on parties and trick-or-treating due to lockdown restrictions.
Mr Halls said: “Fun has been a bit thin on the ground at the brewery lately, but we haven’t lost our spirit and are always game for a bit of excitement.
