Beer festival runs out of ale
A LOCAL beer festival had to be stopped a day early after it ran out of beer, organisers said.
The Beer on the Wye festival in Herefordshire bucked tales of economic doom and gloom after it saw a 30 per cent increase in attendance of thirsty punters who literally drank it dry.
The three-day event, organised by the Herefordshire branch of the Campaign for Real Ale (Camra), was due to run until yesterday evening but organisers had to bring it to a close after they completely ran out of beer.
A message on the website said: "Beer on the Wye has been drunk completely dry."
