'White Face' named top cask ale of Norfolk

North Norfolk brewers Moon Gazer are celebrating as their White Face, a 5.0% Premium Pale Ale, has been named the top cask beer in Norfolk by the local branches of the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA).

Described in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide as being ‘Full bodied with a rich tropical fruit aroma. Oranges in the taste mix well with a piquant hoppy bitterness’, the beer was praised by the judges from CAMRA’s Norfolk Taste Panel.

Alan Edwards, panel chair enthused: “We have 47 Norfolk breweries producing almost 400 regular beers. To win this award is a tremendous achievement and well deserved. The beer has won several CAMRA awards and is named, as several Moon Gazer beers are, after alternative names for hares’.

Alan added: ‘The pub and brewing industry are under severe pressure and CAMRA is committed to supporting pubs and breweries. One of the purposes of these awards is to make everyone aware of the tremendous variety and quality of beers available.

‘We urge everyone to seek out these award-winning brews, and others besides, both for their own enjoyment and to support our local breweries and pubs,’

The beers were judged by members of CAMRA’s Tasting Panels.

Second overall is Little Sharpie, a 3.8% Session Bitter brewed by the Humpty Dumpty brewery from Reedham. The beer is named after a class of locomotive on the Great Eastern Railway.

Blackberry Porter, a 4.0% Speciality brew, from the S&P brewery of Horsford near Norwich and Fusioneer, a 3.6% Mild Ale from Mr Winter’s of Norwich, were judged joint overall third placed beers.

East Norfolk brewery wins top award

Real Ale lovers in the county are raising a glass to Audit Ale, an 8% Barley Wine brewed by Lacons of Great Yarmouth, that has been judged the top Real Ale in A Bottle (RAIB) brewed in Norfolk.  

Described by the judges as having a ‘Smooth and malty character finely balanced by malt and berries’ the beer, one of Lacons Heritage Ales, triumphed in the annual competition organised by the Norfolk branches of the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA).  

Alan Edwards, Chair of the Norfolk Taste Panel explained, “The competition is organised to showcase the fine range of Norfolk brewed real ales that are available in bottles.  These beers can be drunk at home or stocked in pubs shops and restaurants that may not always have cask ales.  This is another way for us all to support our local brewers.” 

Audit Ale is a multi-award-winning brew having won Champion Winter Beer of Britain at The Great British Beer Festival in 2019, CAMRA Overall Gold Champion Bottled Beer of Norfolk 2021 and most recently Champion Beer of Britain East Anglia: Barley Wine & Strong Ales Category.

Runner Up in the competition is Big Sharpie, a 5% Premium Pale Ale brewed by Reedham based Humpty Dumpty Brewery with Overall Third Place going to Bouchart X a fearsome 10% Strong Mild brewed by North Norfolk brewers Moon Gazer Ales.  

The competition, open to all Norfolk brewers, attracted 77 entries from 15 breweries.  All parts of Norfolk are represented in the list of winners.  The Lynn Brewery from West Norfolk, one of the many new thriving microbreweries won three categories whilst North and South Norfolk are represented by Moon Gazer Ales of Hindringham and Elmtree from Snetterton.

Norwich Beer Festival Music Announcement

Norwich Beer Festival is to host a new line-up of live music and performance! 

In previous years, music has been hosted in the main St Andrew’s Hall.  This time, for the first time, music will be hosted in Blackfriars' Hall.

The best-loved beer festival will run from Monday 24 to Saturday 29 October 2022, (October half term), with music on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. 

Getting the weekend started early is The Macarnos, an upbeat, acoustic band consisting of four talented friends. Playing covers and original songs on Thursday evening, the band are known for their crowd pleasing, foot stomping performances, skilfully switching instruments and lead vocals. 

Friday lunchtime, visitors will be entertained by the acoustic sounds of singer songwriter Alton Wahlberg.  Alton has a unique indie/folk style with raw brutally honest lyrics that regularly make audiences laugh, fall silent then sing!

Friday evening at the Norwich Beer Festival, Blackfriars Hall will be filled with the sounds of The Dirigibles, a new wave, rock and roll style band!  A popular four-man group who live, breathe and love the music they play!  Visitors to the festival will enjoy the bounce and bop of this infectious ensemble.

On Saturday, delighting festival visitors from 12.30pm will be three performances:

The first is Terry Adams whose influences include David Gray, Stereophonics, Travis, Simon & Garfunkel and Paul Weller. 

Next up is Faith, offering an acoustic version of their full band, with emotive songs, a rock edge, melodic vocals and dangerous guitar antics! 

From around 3pm, Felix Simpson will be showcasing his original material and covers.  With a decent musical pedigree, with cousins in the successful band Busted, Felix has developed a catchy alt-pop sound, combined with his more powerful soulful vocals.

Craig Harmer, Festival Organiser, explained Saturday is a good day to visit the festival as it is open all day from 11.30am until 9pm and is not too busy so you can usually just walk straight in at any time.  

Craig adds: 'Gone are the days of waiting for a long time in a queue.  We now have a fast-track queue system and everyone is surprised how quickly they enter the Halls and are able to purchase their glass and tokens, now with cash or card, even on the busier Thursday and Friday.'

Entrance is FREE again for CAMRA members all week, who must join the queue and have membership cards ready (unless joining at the festival).  CAMRA members are also invited to the preview from 4pm on Monday 24 October and can stay on for the evening session! 

For those joining CAMRA at Norwich Beer Festival, there is a special 2022 promotion which can equate to 2 free pints – and your entry fee refunded!  CAMRA membership gives free access to all sessions and free or reduced access to local and national CAMRA beer festivals.

Local branches host socials including organised crawls, young members’ events and day and evening coach trips to country pubs, national festivals and breweries!  More information, including the Christmas crawl, can be found on the Norwich & District CAMRA website.  Membership also provides discounts in over 4,700 national pubs and free drinks vouchers!

Festival advance tickets are still available for many sessions or simply pay cash or card on the door!
