Norwich Birthday Twissup 31st May – SIX WEEK PREVIEW
You probably would have seen my original post about my birthday twissup in Norwich on Saturday 31st May, as well
as my frequent tweets telling everyone to buy train tickets.
If you don’t know already, my birthday event in London last year
(#Dawgocalypse) was a raging success with around 30 different people joining us
throughout the day and it was seriously fucking awesome. I really appreciate
everyone coming out.
This year, I’ve decided to try and haul everyone’s arses to
my home city of Norwich as it will be
approaching the end of our annual City of Ale
festival.
Anyway, there are just six weeks to go so essentially this
is a reminder for y’all to book your tickets, and I’ll give you a brief
overview of the pubs we plan on visiting. I believe we’ll be starting between
12pm & 1pm but if you’re any later to Norwich ,
you’ll find a map at the end of this post…
ALL TIMES BELOW ARE
APPROXIMATE. WE MAY SPEND MORE OR LESS TIME IN SOME PUBS, DEPENDING ON HOW BUSY
THEY ARE AND THE SELECTION OF BEER AVAILABLE. STAYING OR MOVING WILL BE A GROUP
DECISION. I AM NOT YOUR LEADER BUT YOU MUST TREAT ME AS SUCH. I EXPECT TO BE
CARRIED BETWEEN PUBS, FANNED AND FED GRAPES AND BACON.
12pm – Compleat
Angler – A Taylor Walker pub with a good selection of mostly local cask ales
and a craft keg line that has seen the likes of Brewdog Punk IPA &
Harviestoun Schiehallion.
1:15pm – Norwich
Taphouse – No cask at this place so you’ll have to put up with the 20 keg lines
available, 5 of which are usual from the local Redwell Brewery with the rest
dedicated to further afield.
1:45pm – The Rumsey
Wells – An Adnams pub that unsurprisingly has mostly Adnams on cask, a couple
from Adnams on keg and the simply delicious Lagunitas IPA from California.
2:15pm – The Plough –
The best beer garden in Norwich is perfectly
accompanied by beers from the best brewery in Norfolk
3pm – The White Lion
– A Milton Brewery pub with 8 cask pumps, at least 4 of which are usually
Milton, plus some guests. There’s only one keg line here and that’s dedicated
to Moravka lager. You can also usually find a ridiculous amount of cider if
that’s your thing!
4pm – The Plasterers
Arms – You may have seen me mention The Plasterers before, because it is the
home ground of Norwich
5pm – King’s Head –
For our final (official) stop of the day, we’ll be visiting a unique pub where
there is no such thing as keg beer. Yup. King’s Head has about 10 cask lines,
of which 90% are from the local area.
So, guys, that’s the official pub list. Yeah, I know it says
it finishes at 5pm but that’s a total lie because y’all know that we’ll be
drinking until the last of us gets a train home, gets arrested or is taken to
hospital. I’m hoping the latter two don’t happen, but I know what you
reprobates are like!
If you need anymore information from me before THE EVENT,
obviously you can catch me on Twitter or you can email me:
nate(at)boozebeatsbites.com.
It’s guaranteed to be a great day out, with great company
and I’m really looking forward to showing you all my awesome city!

P.S. If anyone can come up with an appropriate and easier
hashtag for the day than #Dawgocalypse, there will be a prize.
