COUNTDOWN TO FIRST PINT

Friday will see the first batch of Sergeants beer served over a bar in Brigg for more than 40 years. It will take place at the Black Bull, in Wrawby Street, at 7.30pm. Sergeants will then go on sale at £2 a pint, as it's a special promotion - so the advice will be to get there on the night, or not long after, if you want a taste of the past.
It's hoped Martin and Johnny North, both ex-publicans, will be there on Friday, as dad Jack was on Sergeants Brewery staff in Brigg when it closed in the late 1960s.
To whet our appetites, Phil Ellis, from Fulstow Brewery, has emailed through a pint of Sergeants he 'barrelled up' today, prior to delivery to the Bull.

Look 'ere, Nige...this Uriah Heep creeping saying how, in your 'umble opinion, Sargeant's beer is, is not going to get you a free drink.
You'll have to queue up and pay like everybody else.
If, however, they do offer you a gratis sample...get a couple and keep one for me.

DRINK SEAGEANTS - SERGEANT MAJOR OF BITTERS..........we'll if you can creep, thought I'd try the same for a possible freebie.
