Anyone fancy a pint . . . or five?
PUB-GOERS will be able to enjoy five real ales from across the world alongside a selection of 15 beers from the UK during a 12-day festival at an Ormskirk pub.
Each of the beers has been brewed using only British hop varieties.
The festival at The Court Leet, in Wheatsheaf Walk, will run from Wednesday, October 12, to Sunday, October 23 inclusive, with all beers priced at £2.29 a pint.
The overseas beers have been sourced from brewers in Australia, South Africa, Italy and the USA.
A range of different hop varieties from across Britain are being used, including Fuggles, Challenger, Sovereign and Phoenix.
All of the beers, including those from the overseas brewers, have been brewed in the UK.
The majority of the beers have been brewed for the first time, exclusively for the festival.
The overseas beers are; Hopsession (AfroCaribbean, South Africa), Braddon Bitter (Bentspoke, Australia), Recreationale (Terrapin, USA), Hot Night at the Village (Birrificio Foglie, Italy) and Special Bitter (Ninkasi, USA).
The UK beers include; Hip Hop Hooray (Cotleigh), Hope & Glory (Roosters), Coffee Milk Stout (Arundel), Old Crafty Hen (Greene King), Warrior Queen (Tring) and Return from the Ashes (RCH).
Pub manager Lisa Newton said: “The festival is the perfect opportunity to showcase the wonderful range of British-grown hop varieties and support British hop farmers.
“It will give people the opportunity to enjoy a superb selection of UK and international beers, many of which have not been served in the pub before.”
Customers will be able to sample any three of the real ales in special thirdof-a-pint glasses for the price of a pint.
