CITYof ALE 2015 3

Welcome to City of Ale 2015, which returns biggerand better than ever with 45 pubs on seven ale trailsand 40 breweries offering over 220 real ales! is yearis also our fifth anniversary so we really have somethingto celebrate.

It’s been an excellent year for us, with Norwich havingachieved national recognition for its City of Ale status.Firstly, we were invited to Westminster by the All-PartyParliamentary Beer Group, who see City of Ale as amodel that other cities might care to emulate. Ourpresentation was received with great interest andAPPBG Chair Andrew Griffiths MP said that otherMPs had been incredibly envious of the Norwich festival and wished it was in their constituency.

en, in the March edition of CAMRA’s Beer magazine, City of Ale enjoyed a four-page laudatoryarticle culminating in the affirmation “Norwich Cityof Ale? It’s no longer a question – it’s a fact”. We arealso indebted to our Norwich CAMRA colleagues fortheir support in the organizational aspects of City ofAle including compiling the ale trails.

City of Ale, now firmly established in the Norwichfestival calendar, has become one of several events thatconfirm Norwich’s reputation as a destination city. Ourresearch showed that over a fifth of pub-goers at lastyear’s event were from outside the region and we expect that number to increase this year.

Welcome to the CITY of ALE festival 2015

PUB INFORMATION and HI

Once again as Chairman of Norwich & Norfolk Branch ofCampaign for Real Ale (CAMRA)I would like on behalf of our members to welcome a fifth City ofAle Festival and look forward to an-other successful event. We have seen

the scope of this festival expand year by year goingfrom strength to strength. Its success is such thatNorwich is now widely recognised as a ‘Fine City ofAle’ and gives a welcome to visitors from many partsof the country.

How different things were a few decades ago! enmost Norwich pubs served much the same insipidbeers with few serving any real ale. Now we havesuch a variety of fine real ale brews we are spoiledfor choice. How fortunate we are to live in a city thathas so many real ale pubs that are supplied by excel-lent local brewers and micro brewers. When suppinga ‘pint of the best’ we should remember and givethanks to the landlords, landladies and brewers thatmake it possible.

ere are now well over forty Norwich pubs in-volved in the Festival. After a series of regular meet-ings, the organisers have put together yet anotherinteresting programme that will appeal to everyone.I am sure that there will be a great number who willturn out with families and friends and enjoy them-selves immensely.

Page 17: Norwich City of Ale Guide 2015

In the space of just a few years, Norwich City of Alehas become one of the principal beer events inBritain. It has put Norwich on the map for beerlovers, who flock to the city in their thousands. Andit has restored the good name of a city and a countythat had its breweries and their beers destroyed inthe 1960s and 70s by Watneys of London.

Today Norfolk is bursting with good beer oncemore and Norwich can boast some of the finest pubsin the country, offering a superb choice. City of Alehas played a major role in the beer revival and haswon support from not only from brewers and pub-licans but also from the local media and businesseskeen to attract more visitors to the city and the widerregion.

I salute the passion and the dedication of the organisers of this splendid event and look forwardto raising a glass with them in May.
