BEERS from the three breweries based in Wiveliscombe will be on sale at the Real Ale and Cider Festival being held in Bishops Lydeard today (Friday) and Saturday.

The trio involved will be the long established Cotleigh and Exmoor products, firm favourites with beer lovers across Britain, and the more recent Black Bear, whose premises are part of the Bear Hotel.

Beers from other Somerset independent brewers including Moor, RCH, Stocklinch and Yeovil will be on offer plus those from the Quantock Brewery, which is hosting the event along with the Somerset Branch of the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA).

On Friday the opening hours are 4pm to 11pm and on Saturday 11am to 11pm.

Admission to the festival is £3, which will include a festival glass or 50p with a hard plastic glass.
