Beer will be priced at £1.99 a pint at three Swindon pubs during their 12-day beer festival starting next week.

The Savoy in Regent Street, the Sir Daniel Arms in Fleet Street, and The Dockle Farmhouse in Bridge End Road will host the festival from October 9 to October 20.

During this time, a selection of up to 30 real ales, including five from international brewers in Japan, Canada, New Zealand, and the USA will be available.

The Dockle Farmhouse manager, Chris Ball, 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."

Three third-of-a-pint tasters will also be available for the price of a pint.

The festival will include a number of beers not previously available at the pub, and among the festival collection will be vegan beers.

As well as featuring a range of different malt and hop varieties from around the world, there will also be beers that include coffee and fruit in their ingredients.
