Recommended by at least three different taxi drivers as the best beer in Norwich. I was a little…read morebut off because this place is just beer. No proper dinner, which makes it hard for us to justify three taxi rides as opposed to just two. But I managed to convince the gang to give it a try and as luck would have it, we were able to catch a ride later to a proper restaurant. Lots and lots and LOTS of beer choices here. Not only a few of the mass produced types, but they had a few cask ales on tap. And of course, their own Fat Cat Brews. I started off with one of the real ales - something called "Bitter & Twisted" which I'd never seen before. Good stuff. But who comes to a brewery pub and has something from somewhere else? So for number two, it was Fat Car's Honey Ale. Hand-pulled and absolutely lovely! Inside tables and some outside in their beer garden. They do have nuts and crisps, but again, no proper food. We'll be back. I really want to try their Cougar (a pale beer with lager malt) and the 8% "La Chouuffe".

All real ale fans should beat a track to this place if you're in the area. The tiny shop is on part of farm that grows barley for the local brewing industries and it sells an impressive range of bottled real ales from a host of Norfolk minco breweries. The owner is very knowledgeable about the beers and tasting notes explain what you're going to get from each bottle. You grab a wicker basket on entry and just go round the shelves grabbing bottles that take your fancy en route. Prices are reasonable - probably a trifle more than you'd pay in a supermarket but well worth a few pennies extra.

I assume he wasn't the owner as he referred to the gov'ner a few times. We were made to feel unwelcome almost as if we had just barged through the front door of his house uninvited. I did buy a few beers as we had made the effort to drive there, but later wished I had not given this shop my custom. We wouldn't return. The icy reception aside, it's actually quite a cute little shop clearly aimed at tourists, although priced accordingly.

The Fallen Angel Brewery is as good as it gets. They relocated to new premises at East Hoathly…read moreabout a year back and this has allowed for incresed production of some of the finest ales in the county. The ales are all brewed in small batches and the final fermentation takes place in the bottle. This means that you are getting a PROPER ale that has seen no chemicals or untoward processes. Many of them are also vegan friendly. The owners are very active at events in the county and I have had a couple of great chats at the Grape and Grain and the Chilli Festival recently. They are clearly passionate about their produce and if you try one of their offerings you will see why. They brew a range of classic IPA's, porters, weissbeers, mead and chilli beers. The 'Black Death' is brewed with a generous amount of naga chilli's and this makes a great present for something a little different. Their website lists the stockist of the ales in the area (they only brew in bottle and not by the cask) and you may also order directly off thier website. I really cannot heap enough praises on the Fallen Angel ales and their meads. Take pride in your county and get a selection in today, you will not be disappointed!

When I emailed them to point out the problem, which may have been a one off bottle, they initially ignored the email, then told me it was 'rude' and that was the end of the matter.

It was fascinating to see the range of bottled beers in the shop and then the range of Greene King beers at the bar, many of which I had not seen elsewhere, some of which were trial beers. As one who generally prefers dark ales, I quickly latched on to the labels for trial Black IPA and trial Rye Beer, too fascinated by them to notice that they were not on hand pump. For the third beer in a tasting tray, I chose Rumrunner (rum-infused blonde). This turned out to be my favourite by far, simply because it was cask and had a nice, soft flavour, temperature and mouthfeel, just like that lovely half pint of Abbot across the road in The Dog And Partridge. The Black IPA and Rye Beer by contrast had a very hard mouthfeel and lack of flavour because of the chilling and carbonation etc which comes from being keg ales. Both of these had the potential to be really flavoursome if only they had been available as cask beers. Please do that!

I have been to this pub a number of times, seven or eight times, when on holiday around the area…read morefor the last six years. Could be great but each time I have visited it seems a work in progress. Apart from the people who are actually holidaying in the very immediate vicinity, it is impossible to happen upon it as it is, as far as I can see, very difficult to find from the main road from Wroxham to Hoveton; it was my brother i law who was staying a few yards away that told me of it and it took me a while to find it. The first time I went there, in 2011, there was a large amount of beers displayed, the last time 2015 very few and just as well as with the footfall I saw, they would have thrown a lot away. I was there at a time of day when the Wroxham hotel bar and the Kings head would be heaving. I can only think that it is the lack of accessibility that holds it back. the only way I can see that you can get to it is approach the inside Marina which looks private, behind the boat workshops and walk past the holiday letting agents offices. I can see no way to it from the North end of the bridge as all the approaches are cut off by water. Shame; could be good as this area could do with another decent pub. LC 09 2015
