A cricket video from Cricket World at an event where former England and Lancashire cricketer David Lloyd has delivered the perfect pint to mark the opening of a new craft brewery at Thwaites' Star Brewery in Blackburn.

Bumble, one of cricket's most respected and recognised pundits - renowned for his catchphrases such as 'Start the Car!' - has added to his reputation as a former first class cricketer to create a first class signature brew.

Labelled 'Leave The Car' (for very responsible reasons), Bumble has devised his own unique brew that's 4.5% ABV, golden in colour with a nutty flavour and is one of the first to be created at the Thwaites craft brewery.

The craft brewery aptly named 'Crafty Dan', cost £200k to install, and will allow Thwaites to create up to three new beers a week and to trial new, experimental flavours, create one off brews to mark special events and brew highly flavoured beers popular with Thwaites' cask ale fans.

Interview in association with Thwaites, the North of England's major independent family brewer. David was speaking at the opening of Crafty Dan, Thwaites' new craft micro-brewery. To celebrate the launch of the craft brewery, Thwaites, with a helping hand from Bumble himself, is enabling cask ale fans to create their own virtual brew: www.thwaites.co.uk/brewing-process
