A Cotswolds brewery has been named the UK”s Brewery of the Year in this year”s awards from the Good Pub Guide.
Donnington Brewery, which is located in Moreton-in-Marsh in Gloucestershire, received praise from judges as it "beats the bargain prices of pubs brewing their own beer".
The site, which is based at a "picturesque ancient watermill", produces alcoholic beverages for a variety of pubs in the area, meaning those who head out for a pint while enjoying a Cotswolds holiday may well be sampling ale from the firm.
Its owner James Arkell told the BBC that he is "delighted" with the recognition, dedicating it to all the employees at the brewery and the landlords who sell the drinks.
Established in 1865, Donnington Brewery produces two bitters, the 4.4 per cent SBA and the 3.6 per cent BB.
The original mill at the site is still used in the brewing process, with the wheel driving some of the machinery used during production.
