DESPITE the downpours, pints still flowed at a beer festival in Stroud at the weekend.

The festival, which took place on Friday and Saturday was hosted by the Sub Rooms with live music and food. 

A spokesperson for the Sub Rooms said: "We believe that nothing says summer like sharing some beers with your mates while soaking up great tunes.

"It was all in the spirit of charity fundraising for the Sub Rooms. 

"We hoped that this beer festival would bring some joy into everyone's lives whilst helping keep the Subs afloat."

Beer was provided by the Good Beer Co with other draught lagers and ciders plus a range of spirits, mixers, wine and non-alcohol drinks.

Bands and DJs including Thrill Collins, Mia Coke, Dubbu & TED performed while food was provided by Funky Falafel and Gourmet Greek.
