The NR1 Beer Loop

A brand-new way to experience Norwich’s legendary pub scene launches this month with the arrival of the NR1 Beer Loop. Running from 11th to 20th July, the self-guided trail challenges beer lovers to explore some of Norwich’s best independent pubs — with an exclusive prize waiting for those who complete the loop.

Here’s How It Works:
 Pick up a trail map and stamp card from any participating pub or download it online.
 Visit each venue on the loop between 11th and 20th July.
 Collect a stamp from every pub when you enjoy a drink there (soft drinks count too!).
 Once you’ve completed the loop and filled your stamp card, head to Redwell Brewery to redeem it for an exclusive NR1 Beer Loop prize — only available to finishers.

“This is all about exploring the best pubs in NR1, supporting independents, and having a lot of fun along the way,” says Charlotte Cole, General Manager of The Freemasons Arms, and part of the team at Snug Hospitality organising the NR1 Beer Loop. “You don’t have to do it in a day — take the full 10 days, enjoy it at your own pace, and discover – or rediscover – some incredible venues along the way.”

To celebrate the start of the Beer Loop, Redwell Brewery will be hosting a launch party at their taproom in NR1 on Friday 11th July, featuring:
 Live music from The Lovin’ Handful – upbeat, feel-good tunes all night
 Pizza from The Redwell Vault
 BBQ specials on the terrace
 Plus, the first pours of “Back in The Loop” – an exclusive beer brewed specially for the trail and available only at participating venues. Expect a light natural haze, citrus on the nose and pleasantly bitter kick, a moreish pint to fuel your travels around the NR1 Beer Loop this July.

“We loved the idea of bringing the Norwich beer community together for this,” says Alex Elliot from Redwell Brewing, “‘Back in The Loop’ is a beer designed for summer — something sociable, refreshing, and brewed right here in NR1.”

Complete the Loop. Claim the Prize. Every participant who completes the full loop and fills their stamp card between 11th–20th July can claim a limited-edition NR1 Beer Loop prize from Redwell Brewery’s taproom — a keepsake to mark the adventure (while stocks last).

The NR1 Beer Loop is not a race or a heavy pub crawl — it’s a relaxed, flexible, and sociable way to enjoy the city. Whether you’re in it for one pint or the whole loop, it’s all about celebrating Norwich’s beer culture and supporting local venues.
