TBH, Woodforde's (who I presume you mean by Norfolk's Finest) might have easily

deserved their CAMRA Beer of Britain award 18 years ago when Wherry won it, the last decade has seen a revolution in British ale, which they simply haven't kept up with. Other breweries are experimenting with New World and American hops, styles like Gose and lambics, and using unusual yeasts like brettanomyces, and creating some incredible stuff. Woodforde's are still making the same beers they made 20 years ago, and they've been left behind. All a bit sad really.

Wherry is still lovely, of course, but you can trip over better beers in any decent pub in any town in the country.
