This year’s Norwich Beer Festival opens today and among the many attractions will be a new Curiosity Bar, designed to “stretch your thinking and palate”.

The bar will feature more than 40 British cask ales which are either new, limited edition, or rarely served from the cask.

Highlights to expect are barrel-aged versions of classic beers, sour beers, fruit beers, smoked beers, triple IPAs and barley wines.

Bar manager, Gavin Cooper, said: “We have been travelling the breadth of England, working with brewers and wholesalers to bring you some of the most interesting and unique flavours, to stretch your perceptions of the British ale! We promise some very interesting flavours and styles.”
