A New Minigolf Beer - The '19th Hole' from Uncle Stuart's Brewery at Wroxham Barns, Norfolk


Uncle Stuart's Brewery and Beer Shop at Wroxham Barns in Norfolk recently launched a brand new Beer, called the 19th Hole!

Wroxham Barns is home to an 18-hole Miniature Golf course and has hosted two BMGA English Open tournaments, and the BMGA British Championships since in opened in August 2008.

The 19th Hole Beer was launched to commemorate the staging of the 2011 BMGA English Open minigolf championships at Wroxham Barns. The first minigolf beer in history to my knowledge!






As I'm a Coeliac I can't drink 'normal' Beer/Lager as I am 'Intolerant to Gluten'. Luckily there are a few brewers out there meeting the needs of Coeliac Beer Drinkers and here's a run down of the other Gluten Free Beers and Lagers I've tried since being a Coeliac.

Hitting the 'Top Hole' in Crazy Golf

The Lucky Last Hole in Mini Golf

One of the aims of the game of Crazy Golf (once the 9, 12 or 18-holes of regulation play is done) is to 'WIN A FREE GAME' at the 'Top Hole'.

Not every minigolf course has one of these 'Lucky Last Holes', but those that do come with a variety of obstacles in your way to the hole, and that prized free game!

When you do 'Ace' the Top Hole you may find a cannon is fired, a bell rung, or a voice talking to you!

On our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour (currently standing at 251 courses played) I have only managed to win Free Games at four courses! Emily has won at three courses.

On our very first minigolf course visit on the 30th September 2006 I managed to Fire The Cannon and win a free game at the Treasure Island Adventure Golf in Portsmouth, but then I had to wait until the 4th of September 2009 and my 150th course visit to the Arnold Palmer Masters Putting Course, aka Crazee Golf, in Southport until my next win! After that it was at course played number 222 at the Adventure Golf in Fort Fun, Eastbourne on the 15th May 2011 that I next won a free game.

At one of our most recent minigolf course re-visits, Emily and I both won free games at the Arnold Palmer Putting Course in Great Yarmouth on Sunday 5th June.
