Over 500 people are believed to have walked through the doors of St Mary's on Saturday and organiser James Harper is thrilled with people's reaction to the town's first ever real ale festival.
He said: "Myself and Paul have run an ale festival in Leven for the past two years, which have both been really successful so we decided to bring one to Beverley as the town has never had one.
"We wanted somewhere central to hold the event and what better place than St Mary's?
"We contacted the vicar and she was more than happy for us to hold the event in the church. It is a perfect place, plenty of space and cool to keep the ale cold."The festival has helped raise money for St Mary's Church and Reverend Becky Lumley was full of praise for the organisers.
"It is just so lovely to see the church so full of people, and everybody seems to be really enjoying themselves."

“Ah... so it's only publicised to the people of Beverley (and the IT savvy)... not to anyone who does not "Tweet" constantly or lives outside the hallowed turf of the town?”

“This was publicised on the Beverley People website earlier this month, as well as on the Beverley People Twitter and Facebook account. Following on from the success of this year's event, I have a feeling there will be another festival next year.
Sorry you missed it.”

“I'm so glad this was so well publicised... not.
As a lover of real ales I would have loved to have gone to this but knew nothing about it... :-(”
