Bognor Regis pub to host 12-day beer festival
A Bognor Regis pub is set to host a 12-day beer festival this October, featuring 15 cask ales – five of which are from international brewers.
The Hatter’s Inn, a Wetherspoon pub in Queensway, will host the festival from Wednesday (October 7) to Sunday (October 18).
The international line-up includes Urbrew Oolong ESB from China, Mikkeller English Dream Pilsner from Denmark, Lion Mango IPA from Singapore, Varvar Session Golden Ale from Ukraine and UPP Liquids Pinball Wizard from the United States.
It will be the first time the pub has served cask ales from Singapore and Ukraine.
Other beers featured in the line-up are Cairngorm Autumn Nuts, Exmoor Red, Oakham Dressed to Impress and Otter Reggae.
Five of the beers will be vegan and suitable for vegetarians.
The selection includes different malt and hop varieties, as well as beers featuring ingredients such as coconut, coriander, mango and tea.
Pints will cost £2.99. Customers will also be able to purchase three third-of-a-pint tasters for the same price.
Pub manager Maddie Arnold said: “The festival is a great celebration of cask ale.
“It will allow us to showcase a selection of beers, featuring many not previously available to our customers in the pub, including those from brewers as far afield as China and Ukraine, as well as those closer to home, over a 12-day period.”
Tasting notes for the beers will be available in the festival magazine at the pub, with a digital version also available through the Wetherspoon app and website.
The ales will be available to order at the bar or through the Wetherspoon app.
