Back Your Local Boozer
Duncan Barkes is on a one man crusade to boost the pub trade and support his local boozers.
The beer was on Duncan during his tour of Merseyside, the North West and North Wales buying the drinks everywhere he went.

Scores of pubs have been hit by the credit crunch with 50 pubs a week forced to close in the UK. Duncan put his money where his mouth is in his quest to encourage people to support their local pub.
You can read the stories from each pub he visited below with audio and pictures from each place.
Duncan would like to thank Ian Garner and CAMRA for all their support during the campaign.
