A PUB in Birstall has picked up a local CAMRA pub of the season award.
The Pheasant, a Greene King pub, received the award from the Heavy Woollen branch of the Campaign for Real Ale.
The pub, on Gelderd Road, is best known as a place for shoppers and passing families to go for a pub meal, however the manager is keen on promoting real ales.
In April this year, after steadily increasing sales of the cask ales, manager Jodie Hughes persuaded the brewery to install two more handpulls, bringing the total to six, sometimes with all on at once.
Greene King’s own Yardbird and Old Golden Hen are popular alongside IPA and Abbot.
They also order interesting guest beers from other breweries, which in recent times have included Bad Co Love Over Gold, Taylor’s Landlord and Boltmaker and Hogs Back TEA.
Committee member and former branch chairman Andy Kassube presented the award certificate to Jodie and hard-working staff members Jess and Chantelle.
