Exact date Wetherspoons is making a big change to prices – and it’s coming in days
WETHERSPOONS fans will be saying “cheers” as the chain is set to make a huge change in prices in just a few days.
Branches of Spoons will take part in a 12-day real ale festival from next week.
It starts on Wednesday (March 6) and ends on Sunday, March 17.
Regular customers of Wetherspoons will have the opportunity to taste beers from Belgium, Germany, Italy, Taiwan and the US.
Additionally, punters can sample vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free beers.
The pub chain said its festival beers will be available for £1.99 at 50 pubs, but the vast majority of outlets will have prices from £2.49.
It’s a good idea to double check the price of a pint before ordering so you aren’t surprised if the price is a little more than you expected.
There will also be three thirds of a pint tasters available for the price of a pint.
Wetherspoons hosts two real ale festivals every year: one in the spring and one in the autumn.
Fans have taken to social media to share their excitement about the festival’s return.
One Facebook user said: “Sounds good to me!”
A second wrote: “Exciting!”
Another shouted: “Beautiful jubbly!”
And a fourth added: “That’s music to my ears!”
Beer connoisseurs can view tasting notes for all the beers as part of the festival programme, which can be collected for free from pubs.
A digital version will also be available via the free Wetherspoons app and website.
