What is City of Ale?
As Britain’s original beer week, we’ve been setting the bar since 2011.
The best of Norwich City’s pubs and bars await you, serving the region’s finest beers that are often matched with seasonal local produce.
Norfolk grows some of the best malting barley in the world – come and taste it!
See the city differently…
our walkable ale trails take you “off-road” through the historic parts of the city, allowing you to view its rich heritage through the lens of its Norwich pubs and brewing tradition.
