Marketing manager Jen Swindells said: “The festival is a great celebration of real ale.
“It will allow us, over a 12-day period, to showcase a selection of superb value-for-money beers, including those from brewers as far afield as India and Australia, as well as those closer to home.
“The event will also give customers the opportunity to enjoy beers which have not previously been available in the pubs, as well as those brewed especially for the festival.”
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 on hand in the pubs, as part of the festival magazine, and can be downloaded here, as well as on the app.
