“The festival is a great celebration of cask beer,” said J D Wetherspoon marketing manager Jen Swindells.
“Over a 12-day period, the pubs can showcase a selection of superb value-for-money beers, including those from brewers as far afield as Brazil and Mexico, as well as those closer to home.
“The festival gives customers the chance to enjoy beers which have not previously been available in the pubs, as well as those brewed especially for the festival — and there are plenty of new beers to try.”
