DRINKERS will be able to enjoy a number of award-winning real ales at two Bolton pubs, as part of a national festival.

JD Wetherspoon's outlets, The Spinning Mule, on Nelson Square in the town centre, and The Robert Shaw, on Market Street in Westhoughton, have each lined up around 15 beers from across Britain.

There are several which have won international accolades and industry awards, including Caledonian Golden Promise (International Beer Competition Silver Award 2003,) Phoenix Wobbly Bob (Brewing Industry International Awards gold medal winner 2002.)

The festival will run from Wednesday, May 26, to Monday, May 31, inclusive, with all beers priced between £1.09 and £1.29 per pint.
