Two reindeer – named Cupid and Comet – have been delivering beer by sleigh to pubs in Wiltshire in time for Christmas. The unusual transport method has been adopted by the Holt-based Box Steam Brewery, which is aiming to add a little festive magic to its daily rounds and reduce its carbon hoofprint into the bargain.
