A BROMSGROVE pub is holding a beer festival this month.

The festival is being held at the Golden Cross Hotel, in High Street, from Friday, March 13, to Sunday, March 29.

On sale will be a selection of overseas beers, as well as 40 UK beers.

Pub manager Kirsty Hopkins said: "The festival is the perfect opportunity to showcase the wonderful range of British-grown hop varieties and support British hop farmers.

"It 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."

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

Tasting notes for all of the beers will be available at the pub.
