BrewDog Norwich, Norwich

This BrewDog has the usual industrial décor that this chain is famous for, but the old building can’t help add a bit more character, however much the BrewDog interior designer tried to remove it. To the left of the entrance is square seating area and to the right is the bar area with a serving counter up the right-hand wall. As to be expected, there are many craft keg products, all of which are listed on the white board on the back bar. Under the front windows are two high-backed booths and up the centre, faced by the bar counter, is a very long and thin high table with stools. A step towards the rear rises to a large open plan seating area with a mix of high and low tables, including another long table as previously described. On the rear wall is a large exposed brick fireplace. No televisions, but there was some 1950s background music playing at work chucking out time on a recent Thursday. The service was friendly and I thought this was a good example of the BrewDog chain.

I quite liked this branch of the BrewDog chain. It was fairly busy on our Saturday lunchtime visit and staff coped well with our rather disorganised ordering process, especially considering one of the bartenders appeared to be new at the job. Beers on were BrewDog Punk IPA, Lost Lager, Planet Pale, Elvis Juice, Hazy Jane, Dead Pony Club, Kingpin, Jet Black, Jagged Edge, Hop Tiger, United Planet, Tony's Hopolonely & 50 Cuts, Overworks Kombeercha, Siren Caribbean Chocolate Cake: Dundee Cake Edition, Biancard Road Tripping, Manc Outpost Dead Or Alive & The Physics, Brew York Red Damson, White Hag Yule, Pohjala Peel & Bean, Brewgooder Cleanwater, Fallen Ploom Shake The Room & Wild Wineybeest. Ciders were all from Hawkes - Urban Orchard, Dead & Berried and Winter Cider. The interior stretched quite a way back, with bench seating much of the way down what is a fairly narrow space. Expensive as usual, but fine for a swift drink. My stout from Siren was very enjoyable indeed.

A medium sized building set out in the usual BrewDog style which was once refreshing but now maybe becoming a little tedious. However the Elvis Juice was as good as ever.
