Norfolk's largest brewery has unveiled a new Bavarian-inspired beer in time for Oktoberfest.
Woodforde’s Brewery's latest lager Conquest Pilsner pays homage to the famous beers of Germany - bringing a taste of Germany to Norfolk ahead of the world's largest beer festival.
The Woodbastwick-based brewery says the 4.5pc pilsner boasts a light yet invigorating flavour, balanced with a malty sweetness.
Conquest Pilsner is the latest addition to Woodforde’s New World Brewing range, which takes inspiration from its American-born head brewer Aaron Taubman and his experience creating different styles of beer.

He said: “It’s really exciting to unveil our new-look Conquest Pilsner.
“The world looks to us here in the UK when it comes to ale, but for lager it really is Bavaria and the Bohemian region which take the biscuit for making incredible beer.
“That’s why we’ve looked over to our German friends to create a pilsner that’s crisp, fresh and light – the perfect choice for lager lovers.”
The New World Brewing range was first launched this spring, with Hazy IPA and Tropical IPA both drawing on Mr Taubman's time in the booming US craft brewing scene of the 1990s.
He added: “New World Brewing isn’t just about American influences – it’s about introducing our customers to new and exciting flavours that they wouldn’t necessarily expect from Woodforde’s.
“We remain a proud champion of cask ale and will continue to bring customers their beloved favourites like Wherry and Volt – but we also continue looking for ways to innovate and excite.
“We are confident our newest creation is going to prove a real favourite, and anyone who can’t make it over to Munich for Oktoberfest can proudly raise a pint of Conquest here in the UK.”
