Two popular Wetherspoons pubs on the Isle of Wight will serve cask ales from as far afield as China and Ukraine during a 12-day beer festival.
S. Fowler & Co. in Ryde and The Man in the Moon in Newport will host the event from October 7 to 18, offering up to 30 cask ales, including five from international brewers.
Steven Newby, manager of S. Fowler & Co., said: "The festival is a great celebration of cask 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 China and Ukraine, as well as those closer to home, over a 12-day period."
