e popular Brewers’ Market returns on Saturday 25 May to Millennium Plain outside the magnificent Forum in central Norwich, showcasing a brewers’ dozen or so stalls with a wide variety of ales to try and buy, along with the finest local produce. Ten Morris sides promise a spectacular display of Morris dancing - not forgetting the iconic City of Ale bus which will be offering a “mystery tour”.

is year the Launch Party and the Festival glassware are sponsored by Lacons; it was a stroke of genius to time their relaunching after 45 years to coincide with City of Ale! Seriously, it’s great to see the newly ﬂedged falcon ﬂying again and we, along with many other real ale enthusiasts, welcome the Great Yarmouth brewery’s return. Norfolk Brewhouse are sponsoring the Closing Party on Saturday 1 June where you can bop the night away to an 80s disco with beer at just £2 a pint.

ere are seven ale trails, devised by Norwich CAMRA, which can be followed on foot with prizes for trail completers. is year we have natty little lapel pin badges for each trail completed as well as T-shirts for those who complete all the trails. Another highlight is the Pub Treasure Hunt on Saturday 1 June which is free to enter. See the website for full details of all events, trails and tours.

e pub banners which have become such a prominent feature throughout the city are sponsored by Abbot Ale, whilst Crisp Malting Group are sponsoring the City of Ale bus. Our media partner, Norwich Evening News, has done a great job in featuring the festival over the past several months. We’re very grateful to all our sponsors for their vital support.

anks to funding from the Norwich Business Improvement District, news of this year’s Norwich City of Ale has been advertised far and wide in CAMRA publications throughout the regions. Norwich already garners a great deal of interest from real ale aﬁcionados and many kind words were spoken about its fantastic pubs and great beers at the recent CAMRA AGM, held here in the city, which attracted record numbers of delegates. CITY of ALE 2013

We’re also grateful to all the publicans and brewers who have joined together to ensure City of Ale’s continued success. On their behalf, we extend a warm welcome to all City of Ale Festival goers, whether from near or far. Enjoy the ﬁne ale in the ﬁne city... we certainly intend to! Dawn Leeder & Phil Cutter Co-Chairs, Norwich City of Ale 3

A MESSAGE from NORWICH CAMRA On behalf of the Norwich & Norfolk Branch of the Campaign for Real Ale I welcome you to the now nationally known event “Norwich City of Ale”. What a remarkable Festival it has become since it started only a few years ago. e 10 day celebration of local pubs, breweries and real ale has captured the imagination of beer drinkers throughout the country.

ere are many events throughout the celebration and I particularly recommend the Brewers’ Market at e Forum on Saturday 25th May. I hope to see you there or in many of the pubs when I’m on my travels. If you enjoy the local beers in the City of Ale then I would like to remind you of our 36th Norwich CAMRA Beer Festival from 28th October until 2nd November at our usual venue of St Andrews and Blackfriars Halls. Deﬁnitely a date for your diary.

I congratulate the main organisers Dawn Leeder, Phil Cutter and Dawn Hopkins for their promotion of a great event that Norwich is truly proud of and the envy of other cities. Here in Norwich and Norfolk we are very lucky to have a considerable number of city centre pubs within a short walking distance that are well worth a visit. Having over 30 Breweries in Norfolk we have an excellent selection of local beers to choose from and I’m sure you will ﬁnd something that you have not tasted before. at is why it’s such an enjoyable Festival.

Finally, I would like to advise that a few weeks ago Norwich was host to CAMRA’s Members Weekend and National AGM where a record 1330 members attended. e feedback we had conﬁrmed what a great city Norwich is for pubs and real ale and I was pleased to hear our CEO Mike Benner congratulate the City of Ale and challenged other cities to attempt to emulate our success. Well done everyone. Graham Freeman Chairman

STATEMENT of SUPPORT FROM THE LORD MAYOR Firstly, may I, on behalf of the City of Norwich, welcome everyone to the third Norwich City of Ale Festival. As I am a cask beer consumer and supporter I especially welcome this event designed to cement Norwich as the cask beer destination venue and encouraging more visitors to this fine city. We have very recently hosted CAMRA’s National AGM in the magnificent building of St Andrew’s Hall and in doing so encouraged some 1300 visiting members to sample the delights of the city’s fine hostelries and its other attractive amenities. We are considered to be one of the top retail destinations in the country, which add to our heritage credentials and terrific beer availability. Norfolk now boasts some 30+ brewers and it’s hard to think of an excuse for not wanting to come to Norwich.

be had by encouraging more people to visit our fine City. e reports and responses from the CAMRA visit would seem to indicate that Norwich is certainly getting the welcome and facilities right. So supporting a concerted campaign from Norfolk’s Brewers and Publicans to make Norwich the City to visit if you want to experience great beer in a quality environment seems to me a very sound proposition. e city can only benefit from increased positive media exposure, so from my office as Lord Mayor of this fine City, I would like to add my endorsement to the good work you are doing in bringing greater national awareness to the pleasures awaiting visitors to Norwich and its surrounds. Very many congratulations to the City of Ale Committee and everyone who has contributed to making this such a successful event. Cheers.

With good rail and road connections, especially after the completion of the dualling of the Elvedon stretch of A11, there are endless commercial opportunities to CITY of ALE 2013

The ‘Sir Garnet’ has overlooked Norwich Market for many centuries. It is thought that original parts of the building acted as a market hall for traders in medieval times. It began trading as a public house in 1861, named after Field Marshal Garnet Joseph Wolseley who in the same year had received tremendous respect for his campaigns abroad. This led to the phrase “All Sir Garnet” meaning “all is in order”. With views overlooking the city, home-cooked food and a variety of meeting rooms available this quirky little pub has something for everyone. CITY of ALE 2013

It’s been an incredible year for British beer. ere are now over 1000 breweries in Britain brewing well over 5,500 real ales of various styles; golden ales, fruit beers, wheat beers, stouts, porters, milds as well as the more familiar styles such as bitter. ere is truly a real ale out there to appeal to everyone’s tastes and the City of Ale is an opportunity for those who haven’t yet been tempted to give it a try. You won’t regret it and it may even lead to a lifelong passion for our national drink. It was great news that the Government scrapped the beer duty escalator and cut beer duty in the March budget. is will be a real boost for the industry and for pub-goers. is result follows a year-long campaign where the industry and CAMRA members worked together to convince the Government that it was time for a fair deal for beer. CAMRA is on the brink of announcing its 150,000th member and our numbers have swelled in recent years as more and more people discover the amazing diverse world of real ale. Our recent AGM and Member’s Weekend in held Norwich attracted over 1,300 thirsty CAMRA members who, by all accounts, had a great time enjoying the local beers and pubs in this ﬁne city. I’m sure the City of Ale will be a great event for Norwich and a lot of fun for those who take part. So, don’t miss out on your opportunity to enjoy the best of Norwich and Norfolk beers.

PINTPICKER profiles As in previous years, City of Ale is using the PintPicker system to generate the beer list, tasting notes, footprints and barrel ends. PintPicker is a cask ale flavour comparison system and database developed over a number of years by a small team, dedicated to helping discerning drinkers find the beers they like. ere are over 10,000 cask ales currently in the database and more are being added daily. Anyone can add a review and multiple reviews are combined into a single footprint. So the system is dynamic with beer profiles changing (albeit fractionally) all the time. is, we believe, reflects the true nature of real ale as a natural, living, hand-crafted product, often made in small batches that can be quite variable, sometimes surprising (hopefully in a good way) and always a pleasure to sample because of these features. It also reflects the fact that we all have slightly different tastes and preferences so that two people will often score the same beer differently - but not so differently that it's unrecognisable as the same beer.

At the heart of the system are three pairs of flavour attributes, representing the quintessential flavours of real ale: Sweet - Bitter; Burnt - Hoppy; Citrus - Winey. (Real ale undoubtedly contains many other flavours but we consider these to be the most important). ere's also a colour attribute plus body, the mouthfeel of the beer. e visual output of all this is a flavour wheel so that each beer has its own "shape" as well as colour. Once you know the kind of beer you prefer it becomes very easy to identify similar beers from their shapes and colours. e footprints are particularly effective on the barrel ends, where you can truly compass the whole range in a single glance. Which leaves you even more time to enjoy... 28

is year, City of Ale is supporting the Norwich and District Branch of the Normandy Veterans’ Association. ey are planning a final trip to mark the 70th anniversary of the DDay landings in June 2014 and are looking to raise £20,000 to fund the trip. Wolf Brewery has produced a special cask ale to support the fund-raising plans. e beer is a 3.8% traditional chestnut-coloured British best bitter, brewed with English Goldings and Challenger hops. It will be available in many of the Norwich pubs taking part in the City of Ale Festival. A competition to name the beer attracted quite a crop of entries. e winning name, chosen by the Normandy Veterans, was "Monty's Gamble", suggested by Andy Malcolm, who wins a demi-pin of the ale plus two tickets to the Launch Party. Jack Woods, Secretary of the Norwich and District Branch of the Normandy Veterans' Association, says it's a highly appropriate name: "It was always a gamble to return to Normandy and one which almost didn't come off. Monty banked on a mobile battle but instead got an infantry slog which used up almost all of his infantry. However, the rest is history..." e ale will be on sale throughout the Festival and beyond. Wolf Brewery will donate 10p for every pint sold so we urge you to support this very good cause, enjoying an excellent pint or three in the process! We'll leave the final word to Jack: "Please accept my personal thanks to Wolf Brewery for its support of our campaign to raise funds to take our Normandy Veterans and their carers back to the beaches of Normandy for the 70th anniversary celebrations of the landings there in June 1944. Our watchword is 'Not one shall be forgotten' and not one is."

Nothing says ‘Britain’ more than our Great British pubs and our Great British beer. Community pubs are not just a major part of our social and cultural heritage, but they also have a huge role now, and in the future, as hives of community activity providing welcoming venues in which to enhance community relationships and social well-being. ese are treasured institutions, and for good reason. In the capable hands of experienced and responsible landlords, community pubs promote sensible drinking in safe and well-managed environments. ey are also important contributors to local economies, estimated to be worth an average of £100,000 per pub, and create much needed local jobs and opportunities for apprenticeships. And nothing epitomises this more than events such as Norwich City of Ale. e themes running through this event, such as live music, sport and quizzes, epitomise what are pubs are all about – drawing people and families, often from diﬀerent backgrounds, together to socialise, share stories and participate in local events. I have no doubt that events such as Norwich City of Ale, through the promotion of British pubs and the breweries and supply chain underpinning them, will continue to help ensure that our pubs remain the beating heart of communities across this land.

CITY of ALE 2013

A MESSAGE from THE EASTERN TRANSPORT COLLECTION On behalf of the Eastern Transport Collection I would like to once again congratulate the organisers of the 3rd Norwich City of Ale. is year has seen the festival attracting more attention across the country and becoming an annual event that Norwich can be proud of. Nelson’s county and the fine city of Norwich have a rich brewing heritage that can be judged by the ever increasing number of breweries to be found. Together with dedicated publicans, who in difficult times are committed to promote real ale in their pubs in a coordinated manner. I urge you to pay them a visit. For us as an educational charity it has helped us the raise the profile of the society to the public. We currently own seven buses once belonging to Eastern Counties Omnibus Company dating from 1950 to 1979. Our ultimate aim is to one day open a museum to the general public. Currently we are restoring a

1952 double-decker that will one day return to the streets of Norwich. With support from Crisp Maltings who have kindly sponsored us, we will again be helping at the various events that will be taking place, starting with the Launch Party where you will be able to see the 1954 Bristol double-decker carrying the specially designed advert for City of Ale 2013. It is also planned to provide free travel to various pubs on specially organised pub tours around the city and visit some local breweries too. If you wish to join us, make a donation, or ﬁnd out more, then please visit us on the bus at the Brewers' Market on May 25th outside the Forum. Richard Dixon Chairman
