Oakham's Grainstore brewery has been cited as a reason to come to Rutland and Stamford for a 'hoppy weekend'.

The Independent has produced a shortlist of the best places to visit for a good beer or several.

The article highlights Grainstore as well as the Jolly Brewer pub in Stamford, where you can also enjoy Baker's Dozen beers.

It all adds to the fact that as Nub News previously reported, we do have some great beers in these parts.
