Local beer festival closes early after it ran out of beer

A local beer festival had to be stopped a day early after it ran out of beer, organisers said.

The Beer on the Wye festival in Herefordshire bucked tales of economic doom and gloom after it saw a 30% increase in attendance of thirsty punters who literally drank it dry.

The three-day event is organised by the Herefordshire branch of the Campaign for Real Ale (Camra).
