Brown Horse scoops top award for ale quality

The licensee of a popular Neston pub is celebrating this week after scooping a prestigious award for the quality of their beer.

Terri Leahy, who runs The Brown Horse at The Cross in Neston town centre, has been awarded Cask Marque accreditation for serving the perfect pint of cask conditioned ale.

Said Terri: "This award is a great endorsement for us. A lot of our customers visit the pub especially for the cask ale and it is really gratifying to know that we are getting the formula just right."

Backed by 34 of the country's leading brewers and pub companies, Cask Marque accreditation is only awarded to licensees whose ale passes a series of rigorous independent beer quality audits.

Since its foundation in 1997, Cask Marque has inspected over 100,000 pints of beer and accredited over 5,000 of the country's 36,500 pubs estimated to serve one or more cask conditioned ales.

Cask Marque director, Paul Nunny, said: "Terri and her team should feel justifiably proud of this excellent achievement, which not only recognises the effort they put into serving the perfect pint but also acts as an independent guarantee of quality for customers.

"All too often, publicans don't appreciate the care and attention cask beers require and then run the risk of losing custom by serving pints that are below par."
