A WIVELISCOMBE brewery has broken a quarter century of tradition with the name of its latest beer.

Cotleigh Best Bitter is a rebranded version of the brewery's 25th anniversary ale, produced to celebrate its silver anniversary.

It proved so popular with drinkers that it has become a permanent part of the successful independent brewery's range.

But it is the first beer in Cotleigh's history not to be named after a bird.
