There are quite a few Rail Ale Trails now available in the UK, including the [intlink id=“173” type=“post”]南ペナイン山脈[/intlink] one I recently wrote about. I recently had to organise a stag do for a mate, and after looking into several options I concluded the best option would be an Ale Trail in another part of the country. The route I worked out has since become another established Ale Trail called the はしけ行エールトラック
ルート
The Wherry Lines route is actually a Y shaped route. Trains leave from Norwich, and diverge at Brundall with half going to Lowestoft and half going to Great Yarmouth. We took the southern half of the route which goes to Lowestoft. It is probably possible to cover both halves of the Y, but we needed time to get back to our hotel to change before a night out in Norwich. As a result we didn’t travel all the way to Lowestoft, but started at Haddiscoe. I used google maps to create a custom map with all the details for our trip. A はしけラインローバー £7.80のためにあったことができます.
時刻表
The timetable is available from National Express East Anglia. Trains don’t run on a regular time after the hour, そう、あなたが旅行している一日の時間のためのタイムテーブルをチェックします.

フード: はい, but as it stands we wouldn’t want to try it.
私たちの思考: The Lord Nelson was the biggest let down on the ale trail. Despite a wonderful building, a great location right on the River Yare and being a CAMRA 2011 良いビールガイドパブ, we couldn’t wait to leave. The first problem we encountered was the resident dog which was releasing some terrible smells on a regular basis. The second problem was a large swarm of bluebottle flies flying “patrol” in the very centre of the bar area. By far the biggest problem though was the beer. The taste was just below average, しかし、我々はより悪い持っていました, but there were large bits of something floating in the beer. The glasses also hadn’t been washed properly — mine for example had a layer of scum at the bottom. Several of our party didn’t finish their beer. Hopefully new management will take over this pub with potential soon.

私たちの思考: A cracking pub. スタッフはとても親切で、ビールは良かったです. There was free darts available which is a nice bonus in an ale pub. Unfortunately the weather took a turn for the worse so we didn’t have an opportunity to check out the beer garden.

ラム

フード: いいえ
私たちの思考: A slightly disappointing choice. ラムは、エールのパブよりラガーパブの詳細です. There were a couple of standard bitters available, but in future I wouldn’t include this on an しかし トレイル. There was nothing especially bad about it, just it didn’t fit in with the other venues chosen.
