A party to launch Norwich's month-long celebration of pubs and brewers will be held in the city next month.
The City of Ale festival brings together more than 50 award-winning ales and craft beers to celebrate the breweries of Norfolk and Suffolk.
There will be dozens of local ales to try at the Waterfront launch party on Thursday, May 25, including specially brewed guest casks and keg beers.
Surprise beers from Belgium will also be arriving by boat directly to the riverside keg and craft bar.

These include unique collaborations between Norfolk and Flanders brewers.
Norfolk & Norwich CAMRA will be manning the inside bar, with Sir Toby’s craft beer bar in the garden.
The event promises "Morris dancers doing dangerous things with sticks with two live bands and Luca’s pizzas".
There will also be live music "with a mix of covers and originals to deliver a floor-filing party set".
The City of Ale Festival was cancelled for two years during the pandemic but returned last year in full force.
Tickets are £11 in advance, £13 on the door, and include three pints and a souvenir festival glass.
