A TWELVE-DAY beer festival is coming to Bridgwater's The Carnival Inn, with pints costing just £1.99. 

The Wetherspoons pub, located at 37 St. Mary Street, will have a selection of real ales available for thirsty customers, including five from international brewers and a number of beers not previously available to purchase. 

The Carnival Inn will host the festival from Wednesday, October 9 to Sunday, October 20. 

It will see beer available from Japan, Canada, New Zealand and USA, and also a collection of vegan and vegetarians beers. Alongside these different malt and hop varieties, The Carnival Inn will have ale on offer that includes 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).

The festival line-up also includes Born to be Mild (Conwy Brewery), Sun Lounger (Fyne Ales Brewery), Salem Session IPA (Batemans Brewery), Mango in the Night (Rudgate Brewery), Sapphire Spoon (Titanic Brewery), Banoffee Pie Golden Ale (Maxim Brewery), The Gloaming (Loch Lomond Brewery).

Manager of The Carnival Inn, Seth Moseley, 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."

He continued: "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."

During the festival, pub-goers can buy three third-of-a-pint tasters, available for the price of a pint. 

Tasting notes on all of the beers will be available in the pub as part of the festival magazine (a digital version will also be available on the Wetherspoon app and website). All ales will be available to order at the bar or via the Wetherspoon app.
