Ross Crawford 14th Mar, 2017   0

AWARD-winning beers from award-winning breweries across the UK and overseas will be available at two pubs in Redditch during a 12-day beer festival.

The Rising Sun in Alcester Street and The Royal Enfield on Unicorn Hill will each be serving up to 15 beers from Italy, Brazil, Holland and the USA, as well as the UK, during a festival, which runs from Wednesday, March 22 until Sunday, April 2.

All beers will be priced at £2.25 a pint.

The overseas beers are; Back Garden (Bagby Brewing, USA), Mild the Gap (Birrificio MC-77, Italy), Flink (Brouwerij ‘T IJ, Holland), Burton Pale Ale (Bodebrown Brewery, Brazil) and Continental IPA (St Louis Brewery, USA).




Each of the overseas brewers has won awards for its beer.

The UK beers include; Salopian Lemon Dream, Mauldons Blackberry Porter, Harviestoun Bitter & Twisted and Acorn Darkness.


Several unusual flavours will also be present in some of the beers, including blackberries, coffee, lemon and lemongrass.

Customers will also be able to sample any three of the real ales in special third-of-a-pint glasses for the price of a pint.

The Rising Sun manager, Michael O’Callaghan, said: “We are promising our customers a superb range of award-winning ales, including some great beers from overseas and many others from brewers across the UK.

“The festival will be the perfect way for real ale enthusiasts to enjoy a range of excellent beers over 12 days.”

Tasting notes on all of the beers will be available in each of the pubs.
