Petrus Oud Bruin

5.5% Belgian Sour Beer, usually available at The Blackfriars Tavern in Great Yarmouth, FB: BlackfriarsTavern

Petrus Old Brown beer is a blend of the brewery’s Aged Pale, aged for up to two years in huge oak casks, with a fresh dark beer. During this aging process, just like in wine, lactic acids develop. These acids are responsible for the refreshing sourness in the taste. Only tasting on a regular basis can tell the brewer when the beer is ready to come out of the oak barrels and to be blended with fresh brewed beer. This blend is then bottled.

Petrus Old Dark ripens for 24 months in oak barrels, this gives its vinous, noble taste and slightly sour in character.

Bottled Belgian Beer

Abbaye Des Rocs

9% Belgian Strong Ale, usually available at The Blackfriars Tavern in Great Yarmouth, FB: BlackfriarsTavern

Abbaye des Rocs (9% alcohol vol.) is a pure malt beer, with no added sugar. The entire range of tastes is directly linked to the double fermentation, the precise quantities of malts (7 types) as well as the mixtures of three kinds of hops (Belgian, German and Czech). Its colour is a striking deep and majestic red. Its taste is rich and full of subtlety. It is tasted like a red wine with which it shares the ruby colour without having the tannin. It develops a strong sweet smell. It confirms the initial impression in the first mouthful, with a sharp body that is balanced with a certain fruitiness. It frees itself on the palate and develops an impressive depth of taste. Some traces of burnt wood are detectable, but never scorched even if it contains this kind of malt. The foretaste is very prolonged because of its rich and unctuous development throughout the mouth. The bitter and sugar tendencies (even though there is no sugar in its composition) compete and come back together to the taster’s great satisfaction. It is a deep, mystic and extremely mature beer to be classed among the great products of their soil.

Bottled Belgian Beer

Montagnarde

9% Belgian Strong Ale, often available at The Blackfriars Tavern in Great Yarmouth, FB: BlackfriarsTavern

This beer, robust in taste and strength (9%) is the tops for flavour. It has a fruity and spicy bouquet, it has a stark taste, between a sharp bitterness and a caramelised flavour. It has no sugar, and this pure malt beer oscillates between various tendencies which all round off the bitterness. It has a peppery taste at the back of the mouth and a sharpness on the tongue. It is active in the mouth and lets each flavour express itself individually. It is very active in the glass which gives it a full, lasting, head. It has a long conclusion and puts emphasis on an ever present bitterness but less supported by the caramel. The final impression is one of gingerbread without sugar.

Probably the Best Real Ale Pub in Great Yarmouth

No Comments on Probably the Best Real Ale Pub in Great Yarmouth

In 2022, following recommendation by the East Norfolk CAMRA branch, the Blackfriars Tavern pub’s inclusion in the Great Yarmouth section of the Good Beer Guide by CAMRA was announced.

The Good Beer Guide is the list of the top 4500 pubs in the UK where the highest quality real ale and beer is served in the most pleasant pub surroundings, according to CAMRA members.

The Blackfriars Tavern pub welcomes many customers who are CAMRA members from Great Yarmouth and further afield, as well as many who are not.

Real ale is a short lived product which requires great cleanliness and attention to detail to ensure that it is presented in tip-top condition, and the same attention to detail is given to all the other drinks available in the pub, which makes the Blackfriars Tavern the best pub or bar to drink any sort of drink in Great Yarmouth.

In terms of the Real Ales on offer, the pub normally offers 6 local ales in the bar to drink, and these come from a variety of local ale brewers close to Great Yarmouth.

In addition to Real Ales served in the pub, we also serve Real Cider. The definition of Real Cider by CAMRA has recently changed, and we are please to offer at least 6 ciders at the bar which conform to the updated definition of Real Cider within the wider choice of 14 still ciders.

The Blackfriars Tavern pub is open year round and has friendly staff. It is situated a few minutes walk away from the commercial town centre, but still just a few hundred metres from the Great Yarmouth seafront. It is situated close to the Time and Tide Museum.

The pub has 2 separate bar areas in the pub where many drinks including continental beer and real ale are served by our friendly staff. Different to other pubs in the area, there are also 2 separate areas with seating outside which are walled and offer a great place to drink real ales in the pub grounds, served at the perfect temperature, capturing the sun most of the day.
