Vicar raises a glass to festival
3:23pm Friday 13th November 2009
THE first pint of the inaugural Saltburn Beer Festival has been pulled, with a vicar giving the event his blessing.
The Rev Guy Donegan-Cross had the task of drawing the first ale from the cask as the finishing touches were put to the festival in the hall at Emmanuel Church.
With 22 brands available, beer lovers are in for a treat today and tomorrow.
There will be special glasses, a speciallycommissioned bottled beer and a display about the pier and other local history.
Many of the beers have an ecclesiastical theme, including Bishop’s Farewell, Monks’ Gold and Matins.
The festival will also include live music from Fat Medicine tonight and a trio of musicians tomorrow night.
The event runs in the church hall in McNay Street from 11am to 10.30pm. For more details, visit clevelandcamra.org.uk.
