THE best beer in the district will be flowing this month at The Bear in North Moreton, which has just won a pub of the year award.

After just 18 months in business, The Bear received an award from the Campaign for Real Ale (Camra) for being the best pub in the south of the county.

The landlords will be presented with a certificate on Thursday, June 21, before holding a party from 8pm.

Landlord Tim Haworth said: "As novices in this business, we are very proud of our achievements.

"We're holding a bit of a party for our locals, and some of our brewery suppliers are donating barrels of beer.

"We'll also have live music and a BBQ."
