Wold Top Brewery's Falklands order

The first delivery of Yorkshire beer has reached its destination in the Falkland Islands.

A consignment of over 100 cases of assorted Wold Top Brewery beers took six weeks to make the 8,000 mile voyage from the Wold Newton brewery to Seafish Chandlery in Stanley, the Falklands.

The order is being distributed via Yorkshire based export specialist Turner Price Export and is eagerly awaited by the island's growing and diverse community that includes people from over 60 nations.

Kate Balchin, the brewery's Export Manager, said: "Although our export business is growing very well, it's always good to open up a new market and we hope that the beer proves worth the wait for the Falklanders."
