The team at a Wold Newton brewery is celebrating after winning an award the prestigious Remarkable East Yorkshire Tourism Awards (REYTA).
Wold Top Brewery beat stiff competition, including fellow drinks businesses Atom Brewing Co., Hotham's Distillery and Humber Street Distillery Co. to win the Remarkable Local Producer category of the 11th annual awards that celebrate Hull and East Yorkshire's tourism and associated industries.

Despite the cancellation of the awards ceremony that should have taken place at Bridlington Spa in March, organisers went ahead with a virtual ceremony across Visit Hull and East Yorkshire's Facebook and YouTube channels that was viewed by several hundred people.
Of the win, the brewery'sDirector for Exports and Business Development, Kate Balchinsaid: "VHEY did a great job of hosting a virtual ceremony; we really enjoyed it. We're naturally delighted with the win and it has given the team a real boost at a time when we're working tirelessly to satisfy online orders."
