A RANGE of up to 30 real ales - including five from overseas brewers - will be available at four Wetherspoon pubs in the area during a 12-day beer festival. 

The Myrtle Grove in Main Street, Bingley; The Turls Green in Centenary Square, Bradford; The Obediah Brooke in Bradford Road, Cleckheaton, and The Sir Norman Rae in Market Square, Shipley, will host the festival from March 6 to March 17 inclusive.

The beers will be priced from £2.29 to £2.49 a pint.

The pubs will serve several beers brewed specially for the festival. 

The overseas brewers are from Taiwan, Germany, the USA, Belgium, and Italy.

As well as featuring a range of different malt and hop varieties from around the world, there will be beers that include chocolate and vanilla in their ingredients.

Nicki Hanson, manager at The Turls Green, said: "The festival is a great celebration of real ale.

"It will allow us to showcase a selection of superb beers, including those from overseas, over a 12-day period, at great value-for-money prices.

"It will also give our customers the opportunity to enjoy a number of beers which have not previously been available in the pub, as well as those brewed specially for the festival."
