Wetherspoons has announced that a range of 15 real ales, including five from international brewers, will be available at a Crowborough pub during its 12-day beer festival.
The Crowborough Cross in Beacon Road is set to host the festival from Wednesday, March 4, to Sunday, March 15.
Pub manager Craig Bland said: “The festival is a great celebration of real ale. It will allow us to showcase a selection of superb beers, featuring many not previously available to our customers in the pub, including those from brewers as far afield as Mexico and Brazil as well as those closer to home, over a 12-day period.
“All of the beers will be available at great value-for-money prices.”
Wetherspoons said the overseas brewers are from Brazil, Italy, Mexico, Spain and the USA and this is the first time the Crowborough pub has served a real ale from Mexico. The company also said there will be three vegan beers in the festival collection.
A spokesperson said: “As well as featuring a range of different malt and hop varieties from around the world, there are also beers that include coffee, elderflower, hibiscus, maple syrup, orange and vanilla, in their ingredients. The beers will cost £2.65 a pint.
“The international beers are Tropical (Cervejaria Bodebrown, Brazil), Read the Room (Good Word Brewing, USA), Session IPA (Malteza, Mexico), Vicious IPA (Almogaver, Spain), Nigredo (Birrificio Italiano, Italy).
“The festival line up also includes Lucky ‘Lips (Shepherd Neame), Pitch Perfect (Vale), Crimson Legend (Brains), Salem Coastal Confusion (Batemans), Shug Monkey (Elgood’s), Brewed Awakening (Hook Norton). Three third-of-a-pint tasters will also be available for the price of a pint.”
