OVER 20 different ales and ciders will be specially brought to The Bounty pub in the Fairfields area of Basingstoke for a forthcoming beer festival.
The event, which will take place over the Easter weekend April 19-20, will also include gourmet BBQ (slow cooked pulled pork and so on) and a full programme of live music.
DJ Bongo Pete will be in the pub from around 7pm on the Saturday and the Sunday playing a mix of ska, reggae and dub, plus there will be live music from 2pm each day.
Local promoter Loz Lozza urged: “Come and enjoy a great weekend.”
