Pub-goers can enjoy a pint for less than £2 at two locals in Rutherglen and Cambuslang during a 12-day beer festival next month.

A selection of real ales, including five from international brewers, will be available at An Ruadh Ghlean in Rutherglen and The John Fairweather in Cambuslang.

The pubs both situated in Main Street in their respective towns will host the festival from Wednesday 9 October to Sunday 20 October inclusive.

The international brewers are from Japan, Canada, New Zealand and USA, and the festival will include a number of beers not previously available at the pub.

The international beers are Red Racer Session (Central City Brewery, Canada), Dinner Ale (Townshend Brewery, New Zealand), Orihime Pale Ale (Ishii Brewing, Japan), Who Dat (Urban South Brewery, USA), All Dog Alert (Yazoo Brewing, USA).

The festival beers will cost from £1.79 a pint, and among them there will be vegan beers.

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

Kat Scouller, manager at An Ruadh Ghlean, 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.”

Michael Easton, who manages the John Fairweather, added: “All of the beers will be available at great value-for-money prices.

“The festival will also give our customers the opportunity to enjoy a number of beers which have not previously been available in the pub, as well as those brewed specially for the festival.”

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

Tasting notes on all of the beers will be available in the pub as part of the festival magazine, and a digital version will also be available on the Wetherspoon app and website.
