Brewery launches boozy alternative to the traditional English afternoon tea

Forget boring old afternoon tea - a brewery has launched 'crafternoon tea' featuring craft ales and hearty bar snacks like pies, pasties and sausage rolls.

The culinary experience sees tea replaced with a selection of artisan beers and dainty cucumber sandwiches ditched in favour of scotch eggs and stout cake.

However, the stodgy fare will still be served on a three-tiered platter like the traditional version.
