Snowflake from the Sarah Hughes Brewery came out on top in blind judging at the Campaign for Real Ale's Great British Beer Festival Winter festival at Burton upon Trent Town Hall this afternoon.

The eight per cent ale, which is produced ready for Christmas each year, took the title ahead of last year's winner Elland Brewry's 1872 Porter.

The joint silver went to Magnum Mild from Muirhouse Brewery.
