Brigg folk are in for a real treat - a taste of the past. For a Lincolnshire brewer has used an historic recipe to rebrew one of Sergeant's famous real ales of the past. And it will be on sale in a Brigg pub in a few weeks (keep watching this Blog for details).
Phil Ellis, from Fulstow Brewery, near Louth, used to live in Brigg and his wife Dawn Vessey was born in the town.
Phil reports: "Just a short note to say that after some research for information we have managed to rebrew one of Sergeants beers. We have brewed it today, 20/1/10."
Some of us who now like a drink at Brigg watering holes aren't old enough to have enjoyed a pint of Sergeant's top tipple before it all ended circa 1967.
We intend to run much, much more about this in the future. And, of course, to be there when the first pint of this brew for more than 40 years is handed over a Brigg bar.

Blinking heck! Green ink!
Isn't is customary that the head of MI5 writes in green ink?????
....that explains why you've been missing the last day or so....or it could be that you've been sampling the beer!!
Re Special Brew..... but is it made with Brigg water?
The Sergeant's well still exists...it is covered by a metal lid and is located down the passageway between the Brewery-cum Fire Station Tower and the red-brick Brewery House.
Ray ?Neill (?Neal) (when he owned the tower) showed it me some years ago...was still sloshing about with water.
Anyway, nowadays, the surgery has closed....some of the older readers may understand the meaning.
A slap on the wrist from Nige.....he reminded me that I have got the wrong brewery.
But after a session with Ray, one didn't care where one was!!!
