27 October - 14 November
Wetherspoons Real Ale & Beer festival
This festivals beer list sets the record for the highest number of new beers, festival/special brews and speciality beers.
Needless to say, you need to be over 18 to visit Wetherspoons in Xscape, and to view the website, but if you wanted more info, or to see the great site associate with the festival, click here.
Here's what Wetherspoons have to say about the event:
Speciality beers include wheat beers, a cask lager and beers variously flavoured with blackcurrant, chocolate, coffee, coriander, ginger, hazelnut, juniper, strawberry and vanilla.
As usual, there is a good range of ABVs, colours, styles and sizes of brewery, as well as a good geographical spread, including beers from the Isle of Man and Jersey.
Three of the international brewers have never before been featured by Wetherspoon, as well as two of the British brewers. This is also the first time that we have featured brewers from Italy and Sri Lanka.
It should be noted that this is the 20th anniversary of the first Wetherspoon beer festival, held in October 1990. To mark the occasion, we are featuring Moorhouse’s Pendle Witches Brew, one of the six beers featured in that first festival, with a special version of the pump clip mentioning this fact.
