Existem algumas trilhas Rail Ale agora disponíveis no Reino Unido, incluindo o [intlink id=“173” type=“post”]Sul Pennines[/intlink] sobre o qual escrevi recentemente. Recentemente, tive que organizar um veado para um companheiro, e depois de analisar várias opções, concluí que a melhor opção seria uma trilha de cerveja em outra parte do país. A rota que elaborei se tornou mais uma trilha estabelecida da Ale chamada Wherry Lines Ale Pista
Rota
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 Wherry Lines Rover pode ser adquirido por £ 7,80.
Calendário
The timetable is available from National Express East Anglia. Trains don’t run on a regular time after the hour, de modo a verificar o calendário para a hora do dia você estiver viajando.

Location: 1,700m da plataforma. Follow the railway, em seguida, atravessá-la na grande ponte da estrada. Follow the main road across the river and the pub is on the right.
Comida: Yes. Excellent.
Nossos pensamentos: The Bell Inn foi um belo pub, with excellent food and a good selection of Ales. It also has a lovely view of the River Waveney. Several of us had food which was generously portioned, high quality, e rapidamente entregues.
Reedham
O navio
Location: 1,400m da plataforma. Sair da estação, turn right and right again to go back across the railway. Follow the road south until it turns left. Continue to follow it until it forks and follow the right fork. Follow this road along the river and go past the Lord Nelson on the left.
Comida: Não
Nossos pensamentos: Nós gostamos The Ship, it had a lovely location next to the River Yare. Havia 4 different ales available. Eu não tenho certeza o que tínhamos, but no-one had anything bad to say about the quality of beer.
The Lord Nelson
Location: 1,150m da plataforma. Sair da estação, turn right and right again to go back across the railway. Follow Station Road south until it turns left. Continue to follow it until it forks and follow the right fork. Follow this road along the river, o pub é no lado esquerdo.
Comida: Yes, but as it stands we wouldn’t want to try it.
Nossos pensamentos: 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 Bom pub Beer Guide, 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, mas nós tivemos pior, 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.
Ferry Inn
Location: 1,200m da plataforma. Sair da estação, turn right and right again to go back across the railway. Follow Ferry Road South-West. The pub is by the ferry crossing on the right hand side.
Comida: Yes. Some people in our party had food here and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Nossos pensamentos: A cracking pub. A equipe foi muito simpática ea cerveja era bom. 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.
Cantley
The Reedcutter
Location: 260m da plataforma. Follow the signs south.
Comida: Yes. We didn’t eat here, mas muitas pessoas foram, e eles pareciam estar muito feliz com o que eles têm.
Nossos pensamentos: Another pub we liked. Nós ficamos aqui por 2 pints. This is a large pub with dining room. Ele também tinha uma mesa de bilhar na sala de bar. The beer selection was again good. We didn’t eat, mas a comida parecia bom.
Brundall
Eles são
Location: 70m da plataforma. Directly across the car park.
Comida: Yes
Nossos pensamentos: Nós não têm muito a dizer sobre este como nós chicoteado em, afundou um pint, e mudou-se. It had a reasonable selection of ales, nenhum dos quais eram ruins.
Brundall Gardens
O carneiro
Location: 900m da plataforma. Follow West end Avenue due north. No fim, turn right and follow Postwick Lane for 700m.
Comida: Não
Nossos pensamentos: A slightly disappointing choice. O Ram é mais de um pub lager do que um pub Ale. There were a couple of standard bitters available, but in future I wouldn’t include this on an mas trilha. There was nothing especially bad about it, just it didn’t fit in with the other venues chosen.
great Yarmouth
Cabeça de São João
Location: 500m da plataforma. vá para o sul, over the footpath next to the abandoned rail bridge and follow N Quay south.
Comida: Não
Nossos pensamentos: We didn’t visit here as we took the Lowestoft half of the Y shaped route.
