The mayor, councillor Gareth Eales, said: "Having tasted it I can tell you Mayor's Mash is a fantastic drop of ale and I have no doubt the beer will be a huge hit, who knows... maybe it will come back by popular demand?

"I would like to place on record my thanks to Carlsberg for lending us the casks to use...a real community effort there.

"I am really grateful to all the pubs that have committed to take part and buy the beer also. The biggest thanks of course goes to everyone at Phipps NBC for their support, I cannot thank them enough for everything they have done to make this happen. Now it's over to the public to buy and drink Mayor's Mash...so I hope to see a good crowd at the launch event."
