DUNHAM Massey has won his eighth award of the year, with its Chocolate Cherry Mild voted best beer and best mild at the Huddersfield beer festival.
Chocolate Cherry also won beer of the festival at Chelmsford, as well as picking up a bronze at Stockport.
Dunham Milk Stout won gold for beer of the festival at Sheffield, and also won the stout section. It was third in the stout section at Huddersfield.
Dunham Dark Mild won silver in the mild section at Macclesfield and bronze at Wigan in the dark beers section.
Dunham Stout won a bronze award at Surrey Oaks.
It's a tremendous achievement for brewer John Costello whose base is a barn on National Trust land in Dunham Massey near Altrincham.. He only brewed his first batch of Dunham beers in October 2007 but had worked for Tetley's for many years.
It's ironic that as Carlsberg announces the Tetley brewery in Leeds is to close, an 'old' Tetley's man is going from strength to strength.

Re: Tetley's closing: Tetley's has been "words I can't put on this page" for many years, and I think most people realise this. At lease Leeds City Council has got what it wanted; rid of an ugly building in it's oh so beautiful city. The news was big in Leeds, but fizzled out really quickly, and now you're expecting a pun about fizzy lager, but you're not getting one.
