Beer lovers can look forward to sampling around 50 real ales from across the globe at a 20-day festival in Weymouth.

The Swan in St Thomas Street and The William Henry in Frederick Place are hosting the event from tomorrow.

Award-winning and speciality beers from nations including New Zealand, Canada, Australia and the US will be among those on offer.

All ales will be priced at £1.79 and enthusiasts will be able to sample any three in special third-of-a-pint glasses for the same price.

The Swan manager Kim Newstead said: “The festival will give people the opportunity to enjoy a superb selection of UK and international beers.”
