Jo Pickering, a shift manager at The Moon on the Square said: “It’s really good news. We have new local ales regularly and we find people come here when their particular favourites are in.
“It’s great to be recognised and that our reputation for beer seems to be growing because the team works really hard to look after our ales.”
