A number of the beers will also be available in the pub for the first time, including some brewed especially for the festival.

The beers will be priced at £2.10 a pint.

The Draper’s Arms manager, Christopher Parkes, said: “The festival is a great celebration of real ale. It will allow us to showcase a selection of superb beers over a 12-day period, at great value for money prices.”

Customers will be able to sample three one-third of a pint beers for the price of a pint.

Tasting notes on all of the beers will be available in the pub as well as on the Wetherspoon app.
