A REAL ale festival is being held at The Whitehouse Hotel in Peel to mark the landlord's 20th year in position.
Neil and Christine Keig took over The Whitehouse in April 1991 and continue to be closely involved with the day-to-day running of the pub. Son Jamie became the joint manager in 2003.
To celebrate 20 years as landlord Neil is holding the festival to showcase ales from some of the best small breweries in the United Kingdom.

The festival will continue "until the beer runs out" according to Neil.
