A NORTH-East brewery has entered into the spirit of Halloween with a ghostly grog.

Cauldron Ale, produced by Camerons Brewery, in Hartlepool, is available this week's Wetherspoon's Halloween Beer Festival.

The new brew is now on sale at The King Johns Tavern in Hartlepool - one of hundreds of Wetherspoon's pubs taking part in the nationwide festival, which lasts until Sunday.

Manager Alan Bridges said: "The festival provides an excellent opportunity to list new ales and I am delighted that Cauldrons is being produced by Camerons, our local brewery. I am sure it prove very popular with our customers."
