Three Gedling borough Wetherspoon pubs will each host a 12-day real-ale festival – featuring ales brewed using only British-grown hop varieties.
The Free Man on Carlton Hill, The Woodthorpe Top in Mapperley and The Ernehale in Arnold will host the festival from Wednesday, October 12 to Sunday, October 23.
A selection of up to 30 real ales, including three from overseas brewers (who have brewed their beers in England for the festival) will be available in the pubs.
The ales will cost £1.99 a pint and some will be available in the pub for the first time, including some brewed especially for the event.
The festival line-up includes Jester (Green Jack Brewery), Rebel Flame (Shepherd Neame Brewery), All the Leaves are Brown (Brewster’s Brewery), Bonkers Conkers (Greene King Brewery), Hoptober (Coach House Brewery), Kaleidoscope (Lancaster Brewery) and Victory Ale (Batemans Brewery).
The overseas ales are Autumn Amber (Mad Giant Brewery, South Africa), Rav (Telemark Bryggeri, Norway) and Wungong (Nowhereman Brewery, Australia).
