Pub manager Mark Bouchier said: “The festival is a great celebration of real ale.
“It will allow us to showcase a selection of superb beers, featuring beers not previouly available to our customers in the pub, including those from brewers as far afield as Australia 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.”
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).
All ales will be available to order at the bar or via the Wetherspoon app.
