BRIGG BLOG DRINKS EXCLUSIVE

Just returned from the first day of the Lincolnshire Show where Brigg's adopted son, Tom Wood, launched a brand new business venture, which we are delighted to be the first to report.
Tom's Highwood Brewery sold its first batch of bottled water - sparkling and still - produced from the Welbeck spring at Melton Ross which supplies his beer-making plant.
"It's an exclusive for you - it was only launched today," said Tom.
Bottles were being sold at his show stand, alongside Tom Wood's more usual tipples of the alcoholic variety.
Tom was instrumental in getting Brigg's ale house, the Yarborough Hunt, in Bridge Street, which closed in 1967, open again. And now it's a real ale drinker's paradise.
Now those who drop in at the Yarborough, and are driving, can switch from Tom's Wood's Bomber County to a bottle of Tom Wood's sparkling or still water.
The head man is pictured holding a bottle of both while perched on the Tom Wood's brewery dray at today's Lincolnshire Show.
