Pubsto hostbeer festival

Pubgoers will be able to enjoy a selection of beers from independent British craft brewers during a 12 day festival at two local pubs.

The festival is taking place from Wednesday, October 10 to Sunday, October 21 at An Ruadh Ghlean in Main Street, Rutherglen, and the John Fairweather in Main Street, Cambuslang,

Each of the brewers is a member of SIBA - the organisation that promotes small independent brewers and their beers.

Among the beers on offer are those brewed exclusively for the festival as well as award winners.

The beers include Blueberry Classic Bitter (Coach House), Jurassic Park (Dorset), Jemima’s Pitchfork (Glamorgan), Freddy Brewger (Robinsons), Hope and Glory (Brentwood), Hop Twister (Salopian), Big Job (St Austell), and Wheel of Fortune (Castle Rock).

The pubs will also serve five UK ciders: Toffee Apple (Mr Whitehead’s), Legbender (Rich’s), and Premium Perry (Broadoak).

All beers and ciders are priced at £1.89 per pint.

Customers will be able to sample any three of the real ales or ciders in special third-of-a-pint glasses for the price of a pint.

Kat Scouller, manager of the An Ruadh Ghlean pub, said: “The festival will give people the opportunity to enjoy a superb selection of the beers that they brew, many of which have not been served in the pub before.”
