Get the pints in! We are celebrating National Beer Day with a look back at great Sunderland ale scenes from the past.
The celebration has taken place on June 15 for more than a decade and people will be raising a toast as they hail the ale.
To get you in the spirit of the occasion, here are Sunderland Echo photo memories from 1977 to 2021.
They include people - and a dog - enjoying a pint at venues including The Mountain Daisy, Fitzgeralds, Rink Hotel, Travellers Rest and The Keel Boat.
Drink in the memories and if you have some of your own that you would like to share from Sunderland and East Durham’s past, tell us more by emailing [email protected]
