The beers will cost £1.99 a pint.

Pub manager, Robert Dudley, said: "The festival is a great celebration of real ale.

"It will allow us to showcase a selection of superb beers, including those from brewers as far afield as Japan and New Zealand, as well as those closer to home, over a 12-day period.

"All of the beers will be available at great value-for-money prices.

"The festival will also give our customers the opportunity to enjoy a number of beers which have not previously been available in the pub, as well as those brewed specially for the festival."

Three third-of-a-pint tasters will also be available for the price of a pint.

Tasting notes on all of the beers will be available in the pub as part of the festival magazine.

A digital version will also be available on the Wetherspoon app and website.
