Beer lovers in Horley will have the chance to sample dozens of different brews when The Jack Fairman hosts a 12-day real ale festival this March.

The pub on Victoria Road will run the festival from Wednesday 4 March to Sunday 15 March, offering a rotating selection of 30 real ales for visitors to try throughout the event.

As part of the festival, five of the beers will come from international brewers, representing Brazil, Italy, Mexico, Spain and the United States. The event will also mark the first time a real ale from Mexico has been included in a Wetherspoon beer festival.

Alongside the overseas beers, a wide range of British ales will also be available, giving drinkers the chance to explore different styles and flavours from across the brewing world. Many of the beers featured during the festival will be new additions to the Wetherspoon range, making the event an opportunity to try brews that may not normally be available in the pub.

Real ale festivals are a regular feature across Wetherspoon pubs and are designed to showcase breweries of all sizes, from well-known names to smaller independent producers.

Visitors can drop in at any time during the festival period to sample the available beers. As with most ale festivals, some selections may only be available while stocks last, meaning the range on offer may change throughout the event.

The Jack Fairman, located close to Horley town centre and the railway station, is expected to attract both local residents and visitors keen to explore the extended beer menu over the 12-day festival.
