BEXLEY's first ever beer festival could be just the first of many, judging by the comments of festival goers.

The event, held at Sidcup Sports Club, Sydney Road, Sidcup, featured 60 different real ales and ciders and was organised by Bexley Campaign for Real Ale.

The first beer to sell out was Hanby Brewery's Cherry Bomb from Shropshire, and the second was Little Scotney Ale, brewed nearer to home, in Edenbridge, Kent.

The festival, billed to last three days, was so popular it had sold out by the end of the second day.

Among the 900 visitors were Dawn Sims and Arron Duke, who love their real ale so much they named their two-year-old son Harvey Adnam after their favourite beers.
