PUB owners have been left scratching their heads after an unopened can of beer from more than 30 years ago was found hidden in the ceiling.
The can of Joseph Holt bitter was found in the ceiling of the Starkey Arms during a major refurbishment of the premises in Heywood.
Adding to the mystery is that beer makers Joseph Holt stopped producing their bitter in a can over three decades ago. It’s now only available on draught or on sale in mini kegs. Rather than bin the tin, it has been preserved as a piece of history and is now in a display cabinet behind the bar of the pub on Manchester Road.
