TWO new arrivals into a Yorkshire Wolds beer-brewing family are being celebrated with a limited-edition beer.
The birth of identical twins Elizabeth and Matilda Balchin starts the fifth generation of the Mellor family, owners of Wold Top Brewery.
To mark the occasion, the Hunmanby-based business has launched a new Doppelbock-style beer called Ditto.
The twins are the daughters of Kate Balchin (née Mellor), and export and accounts manager and husband, Alex Balchin, brewery and bottling manager.
Brewery director Tom Mellor, the twins’ grandfather, said: “The twins and mum are doing really well, and we’ll be toasting them with this special edition beer. We’re delighted to welcome the next generation of the family, and we’re overjoyed for Kate and Alex.”
Ditto is limited to 3,000 330ml bottles and is available directly from the brewery, online.
