I am going for a short break to Hopton on sea near Great Yarmouth.
Which are the best beers in the area?

Green Jack (e.g. from their Triangle Tavern, Lowestoft) I'd say, but
I've not lived in E Anglia for q a while.

They bought the sizeable brewplant from Oakham's brewpub (P'boro) &
have always made some damn fine beer.

Save room for a nightcap of Ripper - very stylish strong 'un (former
Champ Winter Beer of Britain).

According to their website they've got a beer fest coming up -
"Next Real Ale Beer Festival is at the Triangle Tavern, Lowestoft,
Starting Thursday 20th AUGUST til stocks last!!"

  Agree with the Triangle Tavern recommendation. Also a bit further
away in Bungay, the Green Dragon is worth a visit (they brew their
own beers). Not too far from Bungay is St Peter's hall, home of St
Peter's brewery. There's a bar in the hall itself and a shop
adjacent which sells their bottled beers.

  Finally, much further away but a must visit if you get the
chance is the Low House (King's Head) at Laxfield. Not particularly
for the beers (standard Adnams range plus a guest) but for the
pub itself which is a classic. If you go there, the Low House is
off the High Street behind the churchyard.

For RA ethusiasts Hopton on sea can be circumcised. I only went in the
Turnstone, near the Haven site. It did have O Speck H at £3.20, and
Tetley's.
