Three Wetherspoon pubs in the Ealing borough will be participating in the Ealing Beer Festival taking place from the 20th of October until the 27th both inclusive.
The pubs, which are The Real Lion and Pineapple in Acton, The Sir Michael Bacon in Ealing and The Greenwood Hotel in Northolt, will be offering customers up to 20 different types of British and Irish ales during the festival.
Beer lovers will be able to sample three different types of beer served as third-of-a-pint glasses and for the ordinary price of a pint, £1.99.
There are 16 new beers to be featured at the Wetherspoon festival before, two gluten-free beers, three vegan-friendly brews and three speciality ales.
Beer brands such as Black Sheep Monty Python’s Dead Parrot and Exmoor Wicked Wolf will be among the possible choices.

After the COVID19 crisis, there is a bit of controversy about the festival taking place as it will attract an even greater number of people to Ealing pubs.
However, Ealing resident Laura believes that it is a great way of coming back to normality as I’ve had both jabs of the vaccine’. Katrina, who lives in Pitshanger Lane also plans to go to the event as she feels ‘a lot safer’ against COVID19. Lina, who affirms she’s not gone to a pub since a long time ago also feels ‘it will be very funny to try that many different beers’. However, Chiara, a UWL student and resident in Ealing told us she didn’t know about the event and that now that she knows she’d love to go.
As pubs are expected to reach their maximum capacity during the week in which the event takes place, it is recommend that specially on weekends people make a reservation if they wish to attend the event at any of the three Wetherspoon pub participating.
