LOCALLY BREWED BEER SOLD IN BRIGG WINS NATIONAL AWARD

A national award has been gained by a beer which is brewed in the Brigg area and sold in the town.
Bomber County - made by Melton Ross's Lincolnshire Craft Beers Ltd - picked up a bronze award in the SIBA East Independent Beer Awards 2022.
SIBA is the Society of Independent Brewers.
Lincolnshire Craft Beers is relaying the news about this achivement to customers visiting its 'tap' outlet in Brigg - the Yarborough Hunt, on Bridge Street, where a notice is now displayed on top of the Bomber County hand-pull pump.
This is one of Lincolnshire Craft Beers most popular real ales. In addition to the Yarborough Hunt, it's also sold in bottles from a stall on Brigg Farmers' Markets, as well as through some shops.
Bomber County takes its name from a descriptive term applied to Lincolnshire during the Second World War when many bases were established by the RAF, including Elsham, Kirmington and North Killingholme in the north.
Some licensed premises in Brigg had their heating operating on Saturday (September 24).
New Market Place venue The Vault advertised its warm welcome to customers via social media in the afternoon.
We visited the Yarborough Hunt on Saturday night from 8pm and the radiators were giving out heat, although the log fire grate was not in action... yet!
Chilly conditions experienced over the weekend were a far cry from the summer's heatwave during which thirsty Brigg pub-goers endured temperatures as high as 100F.
