11:30 Beer festival week is always a good time to visit Norwich pubs as quite a few increase their range to attract the festival goers. The Murderers had gone the extra mile and was staging a beer festival. One alcove of the pub was taken over with stillage accommodating the additional beers. Pub itself was quiet but it was still early doors.
