Motor Transport's editorial team was forced to go to the Great British Beer Festival last night. Obviously we didn't want to, but we thought it was important to cover that story about the beer delivery truck that was stolen. And yes, it did require all five of us to be there!
Which leads me neatly onto today's blog photo - which comes from MT's archives.
A Leyland is unloaded of empty casks at Ansell’s Aston brewery in Birmingham. Directly behind it is another Leyland, and that appears to be a 3-tonne BMC being loaded with full casks in the background. And if I’m not mistaken that's a Scammell mechanical horse on the far right of the picture.
I love the 'Beer is Best' advertising on the front of the truck – not that anyone on Motor Transport needs convincing! (Even if one member of the news desk only drinks fruit beer!)
