DRINKERS were encouraged to go green by attending a real ale festival.
The Swan at Crimble, Slaithwaite, had 25 ales on, including 13 local ones.
Licensee Jonny Holmes said: “Real ale is a lot better for you than lager, but drinking local beer cuts the carbon footprint by cutting delivery distances.”
Among the local real ales on offer were Drunken Duck and Swan Special, from Lindley brewers Mallinsons, and God’s Own, by Slaithwaite company Empire.
The four-day festival featured singer Leo Kenny.
Drinkers helped the West Yorkshire Forget Me Not Trust, which aims to build a children’s hospice at Brackenhall, by buying a glass and a festival programme for £1.
