Beer helps restoration
A Market Deeping brewery has toasted its local church and raised cash for a refurbishment project at the same time.
Hobshackle Brewery has brewed a special beer to raise money for ongoing projects at St Guthlac's Church.
A donation of 25p from the sale of each bottle of the beer, aptly named Restoration, has been donated to the church, totalling 210.
The Rev Philip Brent said: "We have a close relationship with the brewery, which I blessed when it initially opened.
"We are delighted with the donation.
"We have recently had new wiring and lighting done in the church and are now working on new toilets with disabled access, a meeting room and a kitchen.
"We have been fundraising for a while for this and it's great to have support."
The church held a competition to name the beer and people could make a small donation to put in their suggestions.
Mr Brent added: "This is an unusual way of raising funds but beer started in monasteries so there is a link there."
