The selection will include five international brewers from India, France, Australia and two from the USA. It will be the first time the pubs have served a real ale from India and France. Wetherspoon said that the majority of beers on offer have been brewed exclusively for the festival, many for the first time. The Shrewsbury Hotel manager Susan Richards said: "The festival is a great celebration of real ale. Tasting notes on all of the beers will be available in the pubs as part of the festival magazine.
