Overview
- The festival runs from Wednesday, October 7 to Sunday, October 18 and will appear at many participating Wetherspoon pubs across the UK with up to 30 cask ales on tap.
- The line-up includes five international cask ales from China, Singapore, Ukraine, the USA and Denmark, with Singapore and Ukraine served at some pubs for the first time.
- Most beers have been brewed exclusively for the event and five vegan-friendly options will be available, with some brews using ingredients such as coconut, mango, tea and coriander.
- Customers can buy three third-of-a-pint tasters for the price of a full pint and access tasting notes in a printed festival magazine or via the Wetherspoon app, with orders taken at the bar or through the app.
- Local reports list pint prices that vary between roughly £2.40 and £3.00 across sites, a discrepancy that is noted but not reconciled in the coverage and could affect perceived value for regulars.
