Podge’s Belgian Beer Tours

Podge’s Next Belgian Beer Tour

Norfolk & Norwich Beer, Broads & Bitterns* Tour

Monday 30 August to Friday 03 September 2021

Abeer Tour Tour exploring splendid reedy Norfolk, based in medieval Norwich (yes in the U.K.) to tide us over until we can get to Belgium. A four night, five day Tour staying at the Best Western George Hotel in Norwich. This Tour will be a historical and beer-based journey around the amazing county of whispering sedge grasses, wherry's and wildlife with our usual big coach. We plan brewery visits, a visit to Dippy the Diplodocus temporarily installed in beautiful Norwich cathedral and plenty of other beer and historical oddities (including a Herring Museum and pub crawl in Great Yarmouth) with your guide Siobhan. The price of the Tour includes a Belgian beer tasting, a Broads boat tour from Wroxham, a Steam Train ride on the Bure Valley Railway Heritage Line, brewery visits and tastings and other visits we are working on. Oh, and Norwich City of Ale starts when we are there too, so all those brilliant pubs will be even more packed with great beers than they usually are. Read more.

*Bittern sightings on Tour are not guaranteed as they are very rare indeed, though I did see one in flying over the reeds in June 2021. Just saying.

‘Never got the chance to say thanks. So thanks! for a great trip. Thoroughly enjoyed it’. Bob Hamilton

What makes for a great Belgian beer tour?

First: your host should have an encyclopaedic knowledge of Belgian beer and years of first-hand experience of the most atmospheric Belgian beer cafés and bars, brewery taps and restaurants in which to sample the very best of Belgian beer.

Secondly, to travel in style and relax in comfort, safe in the knowledge that your tour will run seamlessly, and that your accommodation will be comfortable and situated close to your tour’s points-of-interest.

Thirdly, you’ll want to learn about the history of the places you visit on your tour, and hear from the horse’s mouth the stories from the makers of the most interesting Belgian beers in the world.
