Beery winners pour pints

Thursday, June 11, 2009, 07:00

Bob Cole and Carole Donnelly pulled the first pints that marked the start of the fourth annual Occombe Beer Festival.

They won VIP tickets to the event in a competition to come up with a name for a special English Riviera Geopark Festival beer produced specially by Bays Brewery which they dubbed Bays Beery Head.

There were more than a few of those at the weekend with around 4,000 people attending the two-day festival at Occombe Farm, Paignton, despite the rain during Saturday.
It is one of the biggest fundraising events for the Bay's green guardians, Torbay Coast and Countryside Trust.
