A LONG-STANDING Herefordshire beer festival has announced it will be back this year.
Beer on the Wye is Herefordshire's biggest beer and cider festival and is set to return once again to the banks of the river Wye at the city's rowing club over the weekend of the July 8 to July 10.
Last year over 6,000 people attended over the three days and drank between them over 21,000 pints.
In July over 135 different beers will feature on the main beer bar which will stretch over 120 feet.
