Norwich’s Fat Cat Brewery has just claimed the title of Champion Cask Beer of Norfolk 2025 with their zesty 5.5% Marmalade Cat, described in the Good Beer Guide as having ‘flavours of Oxford marmalade throughout. Orange and malt pervade both aroma and taste. A full-bodied mix of contrasting but balanced flavours. A bittersweet hoppiness holds firm in a fine unsullied finish’.
Chris Riches, Brewery Manager, commented ‘We’re delighted that Marmalade Cat is Champion Beer of Norfolk 2025, as it celebrates 20 years of being brewed. One of our original recipes, it has been a consistent favourite with customers across the county, proving that good taste and quality never go out of fashion’.
The winners of the Bottle Conditioned and Can Conditioned Beers of the Year were also announced, with Lynn Brewery winning the former with Lynn Ferry Bitter, and Duration Brewery at West Acre winning the latter with their Ebb and Flow, a 4.8% American stout.
