Norwich City of Ale Guide 2015 by Orchard House Media Ltd

Welcome to the CITY of ALE festival 2015 We’re grateful to Norwich BID who are the main sponsors of this event, and to all our sponsors without whom the festival simply couldn’t happen. Loka is sponsoring the Launch party and beermats; the bunting is sponsored by Alan Boswell Group; the glassware is sponsored by Leathes Prior; Stamps Direct provide the self-inking stamps; Kettle Foods are providing Kettle Chips and the City of Ale bus is supported by Wolf Brewery. Our thanks to them all.

Welcome to City of Ale 2015, which returns bigger and better than ever with 45 pubs on seven ale trails and 40 breweries offering over 220 real ales! is year is also our fifth anniversary so we really have something to celebrate. It’s been an excellent year for us, with Norwich having achieved national recognition for its City of Ale status. Firstly, we were invited to Westminster by the All-Party Parliamentary Beer Group, who see City of Ale as a model that other cities might care to emulate. Our presentation was received with great interest and APPBG Chair Andrew Griffiths MP said that other MPs had been incredibly envious of the Norwich festival and wished it was in their constituency.

is year’s charity beer, in support of the Hamlet Centre Trust, is a splendid collaborative affair with five breweries – Grain, Golden Triangle, Humpty Dumpty, Panther and S&P – all getting together to brew a beer with five malts and five hops in this our fifth anniversary year. Do, please give it a try and contribute to this very worthwhile cause. So a very warm Norwich welcome to all City of Ale visitors. Enjoy the trails, pubs, and ales, collect the stamps and badges, pay a visit to the Brewers’ Market, attend an event or two…join with us in celebrating fine ales all over the fine city! Cheers! Dawn Leeder & Phil Cutter Co-Chairs, Norwich City of Ale

CONTENTS en, in the March edition of CAMRA’s Beer magazine, City of Ale enjoyed a four-page laudatory article culminating in the affirmation “Norwich City of Ale? It’s no longer a question – it’s a fact”. We are also indebted to our Norwich CAMRA colleagues for their support in the organizational aspects of City of Ale including compiling the ale trails. City of Ale, now firmly established in the Norwich festival calendar, has become one of several events that confirm Norwich’s reputation as a destination city. Our research showed that over a fifth of pub-goers at last year’s event were from outside the region and we expect that number to increase this year. CITY of ALE 2015

STATEMENT of SUPPORT FROM THE LORD MAYOR Ladies and Gentlemen, may I, as Lord Mayor of this fantastic city, welcome you all to the Fifth Annual Norwich City of Ale Festival, a celebration of all that is excellent in brewing and the purveying of great quality local ales.

A lot of work has gone into the festival and thanks are due to many people and organisations. From small acorns mighty oak trees grow and through the advocacy and creative eﬀorts of Dawn Leeder and Phil Cutter ﬁve years ago we have arrived today at a very vibrant positive era in the brewing and pub scene in Norwich.

ere is no need for an election in the world of beer; Norwich has already been voted the top city in the country oﬀering a greater choice of beers than any other city, pipping its greatest rival York yet again.

With twenty-nine pubs a week nationally still closing doors, it makes you proud that Norwich “does diﬀerent”. We have increased the number of venues open and more importantly have continued to inspire through events like this to improve the quality and standard of what’s on oﬀer and to let the world know.

We are justly proud of our brewing heritage and the reputation of our ﬁne welcoming hostelries, not just in Norwich but throughout the county. e city is attracting more and more national media coverage with this event showcasing the huge contribution that the cask beer sector brings to the Norwich economy.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Norwich’s very own City of Ale. Councillor Judith Lubbock e Lord Mayor of Norwich

CITY of ALE 2015

A MESSAGE from NORWICH CAMRA Once again as Chairman of Norwich & Norfolk Branch of Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) I would like on behalf of our members to welcome a fifth City of Ale Festival and look forward to another successful event. We have seen the scope of this festival expand year by year going from strength to strength. Its success is such that Norwich is now widely recognised as a ‘Fine City of Ale’ and gives a welcome to visitors from many parts of the country. How different things were a few decades ago! en most Norwich pubs served much the same insipid beers with few serving any real ale. Now we have such a variety of fine real ale brews we are spoiled for choice. How fortunate we are to live in a city that has so many real ale pubs that are supplied by excellent local brewers and micro brewers. When supping a ‘pint of the best’ we should remember and give thanks to the landlords, landladies and brewers that make it possible. ere are now well over forty Norwich pubs involved in the Festival. After a series of regular meetings, the organisers have put together yet another interesting programme that will appeal to everyone. I am sure that there will be a great number who will turn out with families and friends and enjoy themselves immensely. Warren Wordsworth, Chairman

MESSAGE from Roger Protz In the space of just a few years, Norwich City of Ale has become one of the principal beer events in Britain. It has put Norwich on the map for beer lovers, who flock to the city in their thousands. And it has restored the good name of a city and a county that had its breweries and their beers destroyed in the 1960s and 70s by Watneys of London. Today Norfolk is bursting with good beer once more and Norwich can boast some of the finest pubs in the country, offering a superb choice. City of Ale has played a major role in the beer revival and has won support from not only from brewers and publicans but also from the local media and businesses keen to attract more visitors to the city and the wider region. I salute the passion and the dedication of the organisers of this splendid event and look forward to raising a glass with them in May. Roger Protz Editor, Good Beer Guide

It moved to the Spread Eagle in Erpingham in 1982. In 1989, following a disastrous ﬁre, it moved to its current home at Woodbastwick, where it has its own boreholes. Major development in 2001 and 2008 more than doubled the production capacity and added the brewery tap (e Fur and Feather Inn) and a visitor centre. Woodforde’s was named Brewery of the Year by the Good Pub Guide 2015.

CITY of ALE 2015

A Message from The Eastern Transport Collection Society On behalf of the Eastern Transport Collection I would like once again to congratulate the organisers of the 5th Norwich City of Ale. It is incredible to think ﬁve years has passed since the inaugural event took place. It has become a nationally recognised celebration of our wonderful pubs and brewing heritage. For us as an educational charity, the event has helped raise the proﬁle of the society. We currently own seven buses once belonging to Eastern Counties Omnibus Company dating from 1950 to 1979. Our ultimate aim is one day to open a museum to the general public. With support from Wolf Brewery the City of Ale 1954 Bristol LD double-decker bus will again be at various events taking place. We start with the Launch Party where you can see the bus carrying the Lord Mayor and other dignitaries from City Hall to the Narthex at the Roman Catholic Cathedral. It is also planned to provide free travel to various pubs around the city and visit some local breweries too. If you wish to join us, make a donation, or just come and climb on board the now famous bus, then please visit us at the Brewers’ Market on May 23rd outside the Forum. Richard Dixon Chairman 25

is year’s Charity Beer Wymer’s Gold - this year’s Charity Beer in support of the Hamlet Centre Trust. is year City of Ale is supporting the Hamlet Centre Trust and five brewers - Grain, Golden Triangle, Humpty Dumpty, Panther and S&P – have got together to brew a beer with five malts and five hops – very fitting for our fifth anniversary year. e beer is a 4% pale ale, hoppy, light, flavoursome and golden in colour. A competition was launched to name the new beer and the winning name, Wymer’s Gold, was submitted by Scott Edwards of orpe Hamlet. e Hamlet Centre Trust was founded by Jack and Margaret Wymer, an inspirational disabled couple who passionately believed that with the right support network, people with disabilities could make their own decisions, live independently and obtain a better quality of life. Rachel Hogg, Marketing and Fundraising Coordinator for the Hamlet Centre Trust said: “We are very grateful for City of Ale’s support. e funds raised will go towards supporting and enriching the lives of children and young adults with disabilities and complex health needs across the trust. “ e brewers are donating a very generous 50p for every pint sold and Crisp Malt has supplied the malt free of charge. e pump clip is designed by Caz Jones who has designed all the City of Ale artwork. Wymer’s Gold will be available at many City of Ale pubs across the city, so do try a pint or three, and support this very worthwhile cause.
