Man travels to Newcastle Beer and Cider Festival from Texas as Microbus crowned pub of the year

The 45th Newcastle Beer and Cider came to a close on Saturday after welcoming breweries from all over the north to show off their beers.

There were 110 beers on show at the Northumbria University Students Union throughout the week, more than 50 local ciders, and on Wednesday night 20 local breweries competed in the Battle of the Beers. The winning red ale was Hadrian Border's Rise of the Red, while the winning chocolate stout was Out There's Liquidity.

And punters came from all over the region - though one man's round trip to the festival clocks in at almost 10,000 miles!
