Dingle Ale launches at Boston Spa Beer Festival

Cain Dingle, of Emmerdale fame, finally has his own beer. The dads running Boston Spa Beer Festival have teamed up with Jeff Hordley , aka Cain Dingle, and Brown Cow brewery of Selby to produce an exclusive Cain Dingle Boston Ale for the forthcoming festival. 

Jeff has connections with St Mary’s school and the village so is supporting the charity fundraising efforts of the Beer Festival. The Festival raises money for St Mary’s Primary School and Boston Spa Village Hall.

The Festival have had a unique brew each year, with 2010’s Harry Gration beer proving the most popular of the entire festival. So the same brew team at Brown Cow have produced this new Ale exclusively for the Festival, with high hopes of a repeat success.
