12:15 First stop on a pub tour of South Norfolk and North Suffolk. I had arranged a visit to the brewery for my fellow travellers Tiny Tim and The Dog. Steve had planned to brew but his pump had a fit of the sulks so he had to postpone and strip the pump down. Still, at least we saw the latest brew of Second Coming working away in a fermenter.
