A Helensburgh pub is set to host an international beer festival next month where customers can buy a pint for under £2.

The Henry Bell pub in James Street will host the 12-day event from Wednesday, October 9 to Sunday, October 20.

The festival will see the pub offer beers that have not previously been available to punters during this period, from breweries in Canada, Japan, USA and New Zealand.

The festival will include a number of beers not previously available at the pub and a collection of vegan beers.

During this period, customers will be able to purchase a pint for as little as £1.79. The festival is taking place at JD Wetherspoon pubs across the country.

As well as featuring a range of different malt and hop varieties from around the world, there are also beers that include coffee and fruit in their ingredients.

The international beers are Red Racer Session (Central City Brewery, Canada), Dinner Ale (Townshend Brewery, New Zealand), Orihime Pale Ale (Ishii Brewing, Japan), Who Dat (Urban South Brewery, USA), All Dog Alert (Yazoo Brewing, USA).

Pub manager Lynne Day said: “The festival is a great celebration of real ale.

“It will allow us to showcase a selection of superb beers, including those from brewers as far afield as Japan and New Zealand, as well as those closer to home, over a 12-day period.

“All of the beers will be available at great value-for-money prices.

“The festival 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.”

Three third-of-a-pint tasters will also be available for the price of a pint. All ales will be available to order at the bar or via the Wetherspoon app.
