As we head slowly but surely into beer garden season, it’s going to start getting a lot harder to say no to a post-work pint. From tomorrow, Wetherspoons are making that temptation a lot more difficult to resist.
To kick off spring, Spoons is hosting a 12-day celebration of all things ale, from citrusy IPAs to deep dark rubies, available at dangerously alluring prices across all of its pubs.
The chain’s Real Ale Festival runs from March 22 to April 2 and as part of the festivities, pints will cost as little as £2.15. Exact prices will depend on where you live but the average cost is still expected to be below £3.
The bargain is available across a selection of 30 ales from around the globe – six of which have been brewed exclusively for the event. As well as showcasing leading British breweries, Spoons will include international ales from countries including Sweden, the USA and Belgium.
With the sheer variety on offer, you’re probably going to want to sip on a few to figure out your fave. Luckily, beer fans can opt for three tasting glasses measured at a third of a pint for the same price as a full pint.
The annual festival arrives as Spoons prices have risen by around 7.5 percent and a bunch of its venues have been put on sale. Despite this, boss Tim Martin said that he remains ‘cautiously optimistic’ about the brand’s future.
