SHARES have gone on sale to help launch a craft beer pub billing itself as an alternative to a fast food burger bar.

The online crowdfunding project for the proposed Bison Arms in East Street, Brighton, launched at 8pm on Friday.

A planning application to convert the disused pub site submitted by fast food chain Burger King was met with an opposing petition of almost 12,000 people.
