Wetherspoons is hosting a beer festival next week where a pint costs just £2.49

Cheap pints, bliss

Pint lovers rejoice as Wetherspoons is set to launch a 12 day beer festival that's only a week away.

The JD Wetherspoon company, run by Tim Martin, is set to launch the ale-swigging festival in March with 30 real ales up for sampling.

Of these, 26 will be brand new to Wetherspoons. It seems there's more to life than a cost of living crisis beating £1.49 pint of Doom Bar, after all.

Everyone loves a Wetherspoons, even if those in posh bits of the country kick off at new watering holes opening in their neck of the woods. And its USP will remain strong in the beer festival, with pints going for £2.49.

Wetherspoons has said trays of three third-of-a-pint tasters will also be available for the price of a pint, so you can sample a few at a time for no extra cost.

The beer on offer is from across the world, with it imported from Belgium, Taiwan, the USA, Italy and Germany. It'll include vegan ale too, meaning everyone can have a tipple.

Marketing manager Jen Swindells said: "The festival is a great celebration of real ale.

"It will allow us, during a 12-day period, to showcase a selection of value-for-money beers, including those from overseas.

"It will also give our customers the opportunity to enjoy several beers which have not previously been available in the pubs, as well as those brewed especially for the festival."

Some of the beers on offer include Spring Frenzy (Daleside Brewery), Grizzly Bear IPA (Shepherd Neame), Disco Macaw (Redpoint Brewing, Taiwan), Crafty Fox (Hook Norton Brewery), Bite the Bullet! (Oakham Ales), Bingo Lady (The Lost Abbey Brewing Company, USA), Chocolate Ale (Leikeim Brewery, Germany), Parts and Labour (Rooster’s Brewery), Germain (Brouwerij De Bock, Belgium), Roasted Nuts (Rebellion Brewery) and Falstaff (Birrificio Gregorio, Italy).

The Wetherspoons Beer Festival takes place in company pubs from Wednesday, 6 March to Sunday, 17 March, inclusive.

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