LANDLORD Mark Edwards hopes his pub will be the toast of Cleveland's east coast this New Year.

Mr Edwards always has six or seven guest ales on tap in his cellars below The Plimsoll Line pub, in Redcar High Street. But he will be serving up to 100 different beers until the end of February, during what is traditionally a quiet period for pubs.

The beers come from all over the UK and have names such as Titanic Full Steam Ahead, Kitchen Tormented Turnip, Ridley's Witchfinder, Vale Winter Solstice, Beartown Bearskinful, Abbey Ales Bellringer, Grainstore Steamin' Billy, and Stonehenge Pigswill.
