REAL ale fans can enjoy a tipple or two during a beer festival at the city's Wetherspoons.

A range of 30 real ales, including five from overseas brewers, will be available at The Crown in Worcester during its 12-day beer festival.

The pub in Crown Passage will host the festival from Wednesday, October 11 to Sunday, October 22.

The overseas brewers are from Canada, South Africa, USA and Czech Republic with The Crown serving a number of beers not previously available at the pub.

Among the festival collection are vegan and gluten-free beers.

As well as featuring a range of different malt and hop varieties from around the world, there are also beers that include vanilla and cherries in their ingredients.

The beers will cost £2.45 a pint.

The festival line-up includes Bunny Hop from Purity Brewery, Broken Dial from Harveistoun Brewery and Easy Stout from Steel & Oak Brewing in Canada.

Pub manager Richard Pugh said: "The festival is a great celebration of real ale.

"It will allow us to showcase a selection of superb beers over a 12-day period, at great value for money prices.

"It will also give our customers the opportunity to enjoy a number of beers which have not previously been served in the pub, including those from overseas."

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.

All ales will be available to order at the bar or via the Wetherspoon app.
