Pub-goers are invited to try out new craft beers at a 12-day festival.

Weatherspoons pubs across Kent will be taking part in the event from tomorrow until Sunday, October 21.

There will be 20 beers all from independent British craft brewers available to taste, including award winners and some that have been exclusively brewed for the festival.

The Robert Pocock in Windmill Street, Gravesend, is among the boozers hosting the beer bonanza.

Pub manager Lauren De Souza said: "The festival is the perfect opportunity to showcase the wonderful range of beers from independent British craft brewers.

"It will give people the opportunity to enjoy a superb selection of the beers that they brew, many of which have not been served in the pub before.

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

The beers include Blueberry Classic Bitter (Coach House), Jurassic Dark (Dorset), Jemima's Pitchfork (Glamorgan), Freddy Brewger (Robinsons), Hope & Glory (Brentwood), Hop Twister (Salopian), Big Job (St Austell) and Wheel of Fortune (Castle Rock).

In addition the pub will serve five UK produced ciders such as Toffee Apple (Mr Whitehead's), Legbender (Rich's) and Premium Perry (Broadoak).

All beers and ciders are priced at £2.15 a pint.

Tasting notes of all of the beers and ciders will be available in the pub.
