A city pub struck by a "cyber nightmare" is offering 144 pints of free beer in a new competition.
The Brewery Tap, in Sprowston Road, has launched a giveaway of two kegs to one follower on their new social media page.
To win the competition, entrees must like The Brewery Tap Norwich on Facebook and share and tag 10 friends they would drink the beer with.
Owner of The Brewery Tap, Mark White, said: "Our Facebook page was hacked after we spent the last 13 years building up 12,000 followers.
"It's amazing just how important social media is to any business, the pub industry is going through quite a hard time at the moment and losing that voice is incredibly disheartening.
"All the memories from when we first started, photos of celebrations and awards, everything's been lost because of some cyber nightmare.

"So we thought let's start again, make a brand new Facebook page, build as much of a following as possible because we've got a lot of things to tell lots of people.
"Growing our pub over the last 13 years, seeing our fantastic regulars and embracing the community around us is what we're all about.

"Things like this happen all the time, so rather than sit and wallow, we thought let's pull our socks up and have a laugh.
Winners will be selected by a random draw and given 10 days to claim their prize.
"We're giving away enough beer to last all summer or just one night," Mr White added.
The competition will begin once the Facebook page hits 2,000 likes with a closing date to be announced.
