The “Men of Oar” at Theakston’s Great British Beer Off – Robin Drysdale, Sam Bolt-Lawrence, Will Theakston and Dave Wallis
A ‘GREAT British Beer Off’ event that pitted northern ales against southern brews has raised thousands for an Atlantic rowing challenge.
The event, at T&R Theakston Brewery in Masham, raised more than £3,000 for the “Men of Oar” four-man team who will be rowing 3,000 miles across the Atlantic for two charities, Bowel Cancer UK and Combat Stress.
The team includes Will Theakston, son of brewery executive director Simon Theakston.
The event, which included live music, saw the north being represented by Camerons, Daleside, Northern Monk and, of course, Theakston’s, whilst Fuller’s, Dark Star, Beavertown, Adnams and Shepherd Neame were in the southern corner.
