WELCOME
WELCOME TO CITY OF ALE 2025
Our aim, in 2011, when our journey began, was
to celebrate what is great about pubs, beer and
brewing in the ‘Fine City’, and has firmly put Norwich
on the real ale drinkers map, as the very best
county for brewing, beer and pubs, in the UK. In
the proceeding years, tens of thousands of visitors
have enjoyed the local hostelries, beers and events –
Bringing people together – The greatest gift that
the Great British Pub can give.
City of Ale is a reminder, (if indeed one was
needed) that pubs remain an important asset to
our communities. The general publics love of pubs
remains strong. Pubs need to be used, supported
and cherished, otherwise the future of pubs
remain vulnerable.
2025 sees the 60th Anniversary of the Maris Otter
malt. Grown predominantly in the fields of Norfolk,
the counties brewers have been celebrating this
milestone, by crafting some new brews using this
magnificent malt. Thanks must go to all our fantastic
Norfolk brewers who have crafted new ales that will
appear throughout this years festival.
We are really excited this year to launch another
first for Norwich City of Ale. You can now choose
between collecting stamps, (which again been
kindly donated by stamps direct), or, use the brand
new City of Ale App - another new innovation
for 2025, where you can collect ‘digital stamps’,
complete trails, and collect this years iconic pin
badges, which have been designed by the
fabulous Caz Jones.
The app will allow visitors to Norwich, access trails
throughout the entire year! Create there own trails,
and celebrate our great pubs throughout the year.
City of Ale is a unique collaboration. From grain to
glass, the vast majority of Norfolk ale travels around
30 miles. Drinking these ales do not just support
Norwich’s pubs and publicans, but also delivery
drivers, brewers, sales staf, malsters and farmers.
So it leaves me only to say a sincere & heartfelt
“Thank-you” for supporting this Norwich City of
Ale - 2025
Cheers!!!

Without pubs, there would be no real ale. Pubs
and breweries need each other to exist, and it’s a
relationship going back centuries. Losing it would
mean destroying part of our culture and identity.
The issue of pubs closing has been excused for
decades. Thriving pubs have been neglected or
labelled ‘unviable’, opening the door to conversion to a
restaurant or residential use.
Once closed long term, pubs are unlikely to ever
reopen. Visit any town or city and you’ll see boarded
up pubs, owned by large companies, left to rot. Often
the financial gains from selling the building and land
are valued more than the pub itself.
In 1912, writer and politician Hilaire Belloc warned
“when you have lost your inns, drown your empty
selves, for you will have lost the last of England”.
CAMRA figures for the first quarter of 2025 show over
300 UK pub businesses closed. If this continues, we
could lose 100 more pubs during this year’s City of Ale!
Despite the bleak outlook, our independent pub
scene in Norwich is thriving, thanks to the hard work
of publicans and breweries, and the support of pub-
goers.
Norwich & District CAMRA supports pubs as the best
place to enjoy real ale, cider and perry. Non-CAMRA
members are welcome to join our social events and
campaign coach trips.
We have free to attend ‘First Friday Five’ pub walks
coming up on 6 June and 4 July. Visit norwich.camra.
org.uk/socials or email socials@norwich.camra.org.uk
So why not join us soon for a pint of cask ale in the
pub? The way it’s meant to be!
LUCY COUSINS
Vice Chair of Norwich & District CAMRA
As real ale lovers, we welcome you (back) to Norwich for this year’s City of Ale, and

But I often get frustrated that when we’re talking beer ingredients, hops are often the
only one mentioned. I have friends who think that beer is “made from” hops. That’s
like saying a curry is “made from” chillies, or a pasta sauce is “made from” oregano.
Sure, these ingredients might define the shape of the dish. But you’re ignoring the
main ingredient.
Any alcoholic drink is made from plants that contains
fermentable sugars. If that plant is a fruit, the drink is
wine. If it’s a grain, the drink is beer. Simple.
The most popular grain for brewing beer is barley.
And just like grapes, it comes in dif erent varieties. The
farmer wants a variety that grows well and is resistant
to diseases. The barley maltster wants a grain that has
a good yield of fermentable sugar. And the brewer
wants a grain that produces great-tasting beer.
Then there are the barley breeders. They’re constantly
trying to get all these variables higher. When they
come up with a new variety, they have a licence on it
that pays them a royalty for a few years. When that
royalty expires, they behave like your smartphone
supplier: “Oh yeah, we told you this one was good
when you bought it. But it’s rubbish now compared to
this new one.”
Lets’ extend that analogy a bit further. Imagine a
smartphone that’s generations old. All the suppliers
stopped stocking it years ago. But a group of people
who know phones better than anyone else say nope,
that was the best one, and they bring it back.
That’s basically what happened with Maris Otter.
Cheaper varieties, more resistant varieties with better
yield all came and went. But discerning British ale
brewers insisted on Maris Otter. Even as bigger, bolder
hops became more interesting to brewers and beer
drinkers, Maris Otter somehow provides the perfect
backbone to their pyrotechnics, creating beers that
were big yet still balanced. If hops are the lead guitar
and vocals in beer, Maris Otter is the best rhythm
section there ever was.
We’re not much good in this country at celebrating
the things we’re really good at. The Maris Otter
mother field – which grows the barley that seeds all
the other fields of Maris Otter – exists just a few miles
away at a secret location in North Norfolk. From here,
it’s exported to craft brewers all around the world.
I’ve been in breweries in Melbourne, Tokyo and San
Francisco where I’ve seen the familiar red and white
Crisp Maltings sacks of Norfolk-grown Maris Otter.
Why here? One theory is that microclimate near the
North Sea coast cools the air and makes the growing
season longer, so the grains get bigger and riper.
The soil is perfect for barley. And of course, because
it’s been growing here for so long, the farmers and
maltsters are experts at their craft.
We know that burgundy grows fantastic grapes. We
know that the Pacific North-West is famous for its
tropical, citrusy hops. It is, frankly, bizarre that North
Norfolk is not celebrated as the home of the world’s
best ale-brewing barley. So, let’s raise a glass (or two) of
the excellent sixty beers that have been brewed locally
with Maris Otter, and prove why it is so revered. Here’s
to Norfolk – the brewing barley capital of the world.
And to Maris Otter, the king of barley – happy 60th!
Don’t get me wrong – like most beer fans, I love hops. I adore the incredible
range of fruity, spicy, grassy, loamy aromas they bring to beer.
If hops are the lead guitar and vocals
in beer, Maris Otter is the best rhythm
section there ever was.

Maris Otter was bred with one intention, to
produce good malt for beer production, and
coming from top barley varieties at the time,
Proctor and Pioneer, the results were good. Its
popularity grew quickly, and it dominated the
market throughout the 1970s. However, over
time it fell out of favour with many of the larger
breweries. They wanted something with higher
yields – and lower price. It was eventually taken of
the NIAB (National Institute of Agricultural Botany)
recommended list in 1989. Despite the snub and
the fall in volumes, a number of craft brewers
including Woodfordes, St Austell, Hook Norton
and Black Sheep remained loyal to Maris Otter.
There was suf icient interest for grain merchants
H Banham and Robin Appel to take on the licence
in 1992 and continue trading the variety. When the
rights to the variety became available in 2000,
encouraged by Crisp Malting Group and a group
of loyal brewers, H Banham and Robin Appel
jointly bought them.
But what is malt? Malt is the backbone of every
beer and is produced from harvested barley
grains, which are soaked in water, allowed to
germinate, and then dried, to stop the germination
going further. This process starts the conversion
of the starch in the grain to sugars, which are
utilized in the fermentation process. Maris Otter
malt is considered to be the best malt for brewing
and produces some of the best beers, especially
ales. Maris Otter malt has it’s own distinct flavour
profile, of sweet biscuit, tof ee and light nuttiness.
In its history it has been used in numerous
Champion Beers Of Britain, which has been
awarded to many breweries producing many
dif erent styles of beer, showing Maris Otter’s
versatility as a malt.
One of the significances of Maris Otter to the
City Of Ale is that a large proportion of Maris
Otter is grown in the fields of Norfolk. This county
produces some of the best malting barley in the
UK, and probably the world, and this is something
we should be proud of as the City Of Ale brewers
produce great beer with the best malt to be served
in some great pubs.
In the sixty years of Maris Otter many other
barleys have come and gone, but Maris Otter is
still in demand, and will continue to be in demand.
Together, let us celebrate the 60th year of this
historic grain.

Maris
Otter?
Mark Banham
(H.Banham Ltd.)
As a grain merchant celebrating sixty years of Maris Otter barley, we are proud to be
part of the Norwich City Of Ale in 2025. What is Maris Otter? Maris Otter is a barley
variety bred back in the 1960’s by the Plant Breeding Institute in Cambridge, based
on Maris Lane, which lead to the Maris prefix for many of their plant
breeding projects. (Maris Piper you will know) .

A TOUR OF NORWICH’S
PUBS OLD AND NEW
A guided tour around some of Norwich’s many
pubs, including those still operating and looking
at evidence for those no longer with us. It will
include many facts and ale tales about these
much loved buildings and their breweries.
During the walk we will debunk the claim that
Norwich had a pub for every day,
a very inaccurate boast.
The walk will start outside the Sir Garnet (36,
Market Place, NR1 1RD and will conclude at
the Plough, St Benedict’s Street. It will
be led by Norwich City Tour
Guide Jon Hooton.
