The White Lion pub in Ufford has hailed its four day August Bank Holiday Beer Festival a winner after record receipts - even though the top welly wanger snatched his crown from a local champion.
The historic hostelry sold out of most of the 14 guest ales during an eclectic weekend that had something for all the family.
Pub manager Andy Jarret, 33, toasted the success of the event.
He said: "We had the normal Bank Holiday mix of weather but that didn't seem to put anybody off.
"It's been hectic for both drink and food and everyone working here now needs a good holiday.
"Thank you to everyone who made the effort to support the White Lion."
The final tally saw the pub sell 937 pints and 224 half pints of ale over four days.
The most popular beer and the first to sell out was Sudbury-based Mauldens' best bitter Mole Trap.
Andy added: "Traditional bitters seemed to sell better than citric blondes and pales, bucking the trend of the last few years."
Pub chief Finn Bourne, 20, and staff also cooked 158 burgers, 59 pulled pork buns and 47 chilli loaded fries.
A total of 469 servings were made over four days.
On the festival's opening Friday night local band the Biscuit Brothers had the pub marquee rocking.
More than 250 people danced until closing time at the free event sponsored by the White Lion.
The next night the jazz quartet Moondance brought a different vibe to the marquee.
The music was followed by a Sunday Funday with an age-old East Anglian slant.
There was a diddly cart race and welly boot throwing won by newboy Jack Hayman, 28, who was visiting from London.
Jack beat reigning local champion Ollie Moyse with a huge throw that nearly landed in the trees surrounding the pub's field.
Locals also took part in the traditional game of dwile flonking in the sun soaked pub field overlooking the River Deben.
This involves two teams of 12 dancing around each other whilst avoiding a beer soaked cloth (dwile)
Pub owner Stephen Thurlow oversaw the contest and said: "There was a lot of enthusiasm."
The four-day festival culminated on Monday with the famous bi-annual Ufford Car Rally.
Classics included an immaculate green 1932 Frazer Nash owned by residents Foppe and Lizzie D'Hane.
More than 40 vehicles from across the country graced the event during the day.
After a brief respite, the pub will ramp up again for an Italian wine and six-course tasting night on the 5th September at 7pm.
