Celebrating women's role in brewing
Norwich is playing host to a beer festival with a difference this bank holiday, in celebration of women in the brewing industry.
For the fourth year, FEM.ALE returns to the city, with a collection of ales, lagers, stouts and porters from female-led breweries across the UK and beyond.
Erica Horton, one of the festival's directors, has done a lot of research into the history of brewing and the fermentation of drinks and says women were always at the heart of the industry.
"There's a stereotype in more contemporary times that beer is a drink for men, brewed by men and consumed by men and we're here to remind people that that's not the real history of beer... it's just a liquid and it's for everyone."
If you fancy a pint, get down to The Plasteres Arms in Cowgate - the event runs from today to 29 May.

Woman not allowed to trim 'thuggish' tree
Helen Burchell
BBC News
A woman who cut back a tree she considered to be "thuggish" has been told she cannot touch it again.
The sycamore is in a country park at the end of Gillian Lincoln's Brundall home, in Norfolk.
BBCCopyright: BBC
She said the species was "invasive" and "thuggish in relation to other trees" but the council slapped a tree preservation order (TPO) on the sycamore, believing she wanted to cut it down.
Mrs Lincoln said she had asked a tree surgeon friend to trim the tree because it was not being managed properly and was affecting her garden.
Writing to object to the TPO, she told the council sycamore trees could release "as many as 10,000 winged seeds" which once established "start eliminating the 'competition' through their vast numbers".
The council's tree officer said her description of the sycamore as "thuggish" was "nonsensical" and at a meeting earlier today, Broadland Council upheld the TPO issued by Brundall Parish Council.
Remaining hot and sunny

Contractors in fatal engineering project 'didn't have competency'
HSE spokeswoman Annette Hall said: "Sadly the contractors involved in this [the Claxton Engineering project] were not really able, they didn’t have the competency to take on a large-scale engineering project like this one."
Asked whether she was satisfied with the sentences handed out by a judge at the Old Bailey yesterday, Ms Hall replied: "Sentencing is obviously a matter for the judge.
"I'm pleased to have received the convictions.
"It's been a long-running case, it's been a complex investigation and I'm satisfied that we've got convictions and messages are out there about the importance of planning in future."
Safety measures 'weren't put in place' at site where four workers died
The day after two companies were fined following the death of four men from Suffolk at an excavation site in Great Yarmouth, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has warned construction firms must employ competent contractors.
HSECopyright: HSE
Brothers Daniel and Thomas Hazleton, and Peter Johnson, all from Stanton, and Adam Taylor, from Rickinghall, died at the Claxton Engineering site in January 2011.
HSE spokeswoman Annette Hall said: "It was a major engineering project building significant foundations for a new pressure test facility at Claxtons and that involved planning how they were going to build these foundations.
"At no point during the whole planning process did the people who were involved in it engage with the challenges involved in it and put the safety measures in place.
"What that meant was that these four guys, very sadly, were working within a steel structure, trying to build it before concrete was poured onto it, and the structure collapsed on them."
