Norwich City of Ale
he 6th annual grand celebration of beer in Norwich will
Tbe held this year from 26 May to 5 June. More than 40
pubs are taking part, many of them historic beauties and all
of them offering ales from local breweries and running their
own events and promotions. The beer will be coming from
some 40 breweries from Norfolk and the surrounding area.
Norfolk is no longer the beer desert that Watney’s once
made it. Norwich is in itself a splendid city with much in the
way of historic architecture, including a castle and a
cathedral plus a traditional market.
The City of Ale holds almost everything a party, possibly
from a CAMRA branch, could want from an outing although
to do it justice you really need to stay over for a night or
two. Contact the organisers for more information:

As from 2017 Norwich will also be hosting CAMRA’s
National Winter Ales Festival; see page 22.
