Brewery launches new IPA in honour of Durham Light Infantry
A SPECIAL edition ale has been created in tribute to the Durham Light Infantry Association, thousands of DLI soldiers and two veterans with a special connection to its brewer. Kevin Carr, head brewer at Barnard Castle Brewing Co, first had the idea of honouring the “Faithful Durhams” with an India pale ale at his grandpa's 100th birthday. Syd Elliott served with the 1st Battalion of the Durham Light Infantry in the Second World War at Tobruk, the siege of Malta and then Greece, where he was captured on Leros and spent the rest of the war in a prisoner of war camp in Germany.
