We were very happy to help re-open a pub – the George and Dragon – in the very pretty village of Hurstbourne Tarrant, near Andover on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The village also boasts a brewery, and one task for the evening was to chose which of two ales would become the official village ale.<\/p>\n

Frank and Chris enthusiastically joined the judging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
