A bird brewing beer!

So how do you follow a weekend which had a beer festival with six fabulous ales?

Simple - by serving and excellent #Norfolk ale brewed by a bird! (her words not mine)

Norfolk Kiwi 3.8% ABV

Tasting Notes:
Norfolk Kiwi, is an easy drinking bitter and is brewed using the finest locally grown Maris Otter and wheat giving it a golden straw colour.

It is blended with generous helpings of English and New Zealand hops, giving it that unique Kiwi flavour and aroma. Contains barley and wheat (Gluten).

Whats in a name? 
Norfolk Kiwi' is named after brewer Jo's husband Chris, who is from New Zealand. He can be spotted undoubtedly as a Kiwi by his usual attire of green swanndry and gumboots, often accompanied by a ute full of wood. If communication occurs don't be confused by the pronunciation of his 'e's as 'I's!

Having lived in the UK for more than 20 years, with the best part of that being in North Norfolk he has had an ambition list of things he would like to do in order to become a true English gent! Seeing a British winner at Wimbledon, see an Englishman score an unbeaten 100 at lords, see the French beaten at Twickenham, and the such like.

We're open on Thursday and Friday night from 8pm. Hope to see you, trust me - this ale is not one that you want to miss! 

Also we've put a few pictures from the Beer Festival on our BeerFest13 page.
