Sir Norman Wisdom in Deal will host a 17-day beer festival starting on Friday.

Beer lovers will be able to enjoy a range of 10 real ales from across the world including from New Zealand, the USA, Holland, Australia, Belgium and Italy, aswell as beers from the UK.

Five of the international beers are being brewed by women, together with two beers brewed by female brewers in the UK.

The pub in Queen Street will serve new, seasonal and speciality beers, including those flavoured with ginger, heather and honey, toffee, herbs and spices, cinnamon and nutmeg, all priced at £2.10 a pint.

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

Pub manager Amy Kortegas said: “The festival will give people the opportunity to enjoy a superb selection of UK and international beers, many of which have not been served in the pub before.

“Seven of the beers on offer have been brewed by women brewers and I am delighted to showcase their excellent beers in The Sir Norman Wisdom.

“The festival promises to be great fun and I am certain that my customers will enjoy themselves.”
