BUY ME A PINT
First train of the day out to Sheringham. A great small seaside town with one long street packed with shops and food outlets. Also home to the North Norfolk Railway, opposite the mainline railway station
The Gangway – Sheringham
Less than a minutes walk from the train station, is “The Gangway”. A small bar and food cafe with a large can and bottle selection to choose from
The guest line today was “DEYA – Into the Haze”, a refreshing passionfruit beer, just what was needed with the warm weather.
The Giddy Goat
Whilst walking down the main street earlier id noticed a small bottle shop down a side alley shopping area. Definitely worth a drop in if you are in the area, they have a huge selection of Norfolk Ales, Ciders, Gins and more!
Back to the railway station to get the train to Cromer (the train passed here on the way).
The Gangway – Cromer
A steady walk downhill from the railway station towards the town centre, and into “The Gangway”, owned by the same people who own the one in Sheringham.
6 keg beers available here to choose from, alongside ciders and a large selection of bottles and cans. Went with “Dangerous Liason” from Wilde Child Brewery. A delicious passionfruit and guava sour.
Hop In
Back on the train again, this time to North Walsham. A short walk into the town centre and to the “Hop In”. One of a small number of Micropubs in Norfolk
A choice of 6 Beers and 5 Ciders were on today. Love to see beers served on gravity behind the bar. Started with “Summer Vibes” from Poppyland Brewery located in Cromer, followed by “Redhead” from Tipples Brewery in Salhouse.
Had a great chat to the Manageress whilst enjoying my couple of drinks. Really great so see people who are so passionate about beers!
Back to Norwich on the train to try a few of the pubs in Norwich and into the neighbouring village of Trowse.
Norwich
Redwell Brewery Tap
A leisurely afternoon walk down to Redwell Brewery. Located in a small industrial estate, this brewery has an inside bar, aswell as a large outside seating area. The bar outside is a retro Airstream.
Started off with King Wazoo followed by Extra Pale Ale. Both delicious and drank in a great outdoor beer garden. Inside there is seating along with the main bar and pizza kitchen.
The White Horse
After leaving Redwell Brewery Tap, a steady 15 minutes walk into the village of Trowse. First stop was at The White Horse.
Nice traditional village pub serving a great range of home cooked food. 2 cask beers available in here (with another coming shortly). Went with Wherry from Woodfordes, a very traditional amber ale which went well with my pie of the day!
Crown Point Tavern
A walk to the other end of the village now to the Crown Point Tavern. Again another great village pub, this one having a pizza van at the front of the pub.
A choice of two cask ales again in here. Decided to go with the “Gravity” from Brakspear. Sat outside at the back of the pub in a lovely small courtyard.
Lollards Pit
Back into Norwich centre now to try a couple of pubs near Norwich Riverside. First was “Lollards Pit”. This is a large 17th Century building which was one of the first pubs to be built outside of the city walls. It is on the site of Lollard’s Pit – a place of execution for heretics hence its name.
A good range of local beers available here with some from further afield, aswell as a large cider selection. Went with “Edith Cavell” from Wolf Brewery in Besthorpe. Great beer garden outside at the back of the pub aswell.
Red Lion
Over the river from the last pub and into the Red Lion. A great corner pub situated next to the river. A big beer garden at the front and back and looked very popular.
A choice of 6 ales on the bar, mainly from local breweries. Went with a pint of “Red” from Panther Brewery in Reepham, Norfolk.
St Andrews Brewhouse
Last call of the day was to “St Andrews Brewhouse”. Opened in 2015 this bar brews beers on site aswell as having guest beers on.
Couldn’t decide so went with two halves. First was “Festival House”, a tasty pale ale from the on site brewery, followed by “Norfolk Topper” from Barsham Brewery based in Fakenham.
