A local beer festival had to be stopped a day early after it ran out of beer, organisers said.

The Beer on the Wye festival in Herefordshire bucked tales of economic doom and gloom after it saw a 30% increase in attendance of thirsty punters who literally drank it dry.

The three-day event, organised by the Herefordshire branch of the Campaign for Real Ale (Camra), was due to run until Sunday evening but organisers had to bring it to a close after they completely ran out of beer.
