JD Wetherspoon is to offer five American cask-conditioned beers at its pubs across the UK as part of the company's 19-day beer festival.
The beer festival is taking place from 5 October until 23 October inclusive.
The five American beers are being brewed in the UK by their respective brewers to their individual recipes.
They are; Kalamazoo Black Silk (Bells, Michigan), Sandiago Session IPA (Stone, California), Cascadian Dark Ale, pictured, (Bend, Oregon), Yakima Sun (Fat Head. Ohio) and Ninety Shilling (Odells, Colorado).
In addition the pub will serve up to 45 beers from across the UK, including the Governor (JW Lees), Ginger Beard (Wychwood), Horse Rustler (White Horse), Old Crafty Hen (Moreland), Pudding Porter (Tring), Vapour Trail (Salopian) and Brother Rabbit (Thornbridge).
Customers will be able to sample any three of the beers in special third-of-a-pint glasses for the price of a pint.
Wetherspoon's chief executive, John Hutson, said: "The festival will give people the opportunity to enjoy a superb selection of American beers not usually available in the UK, as well as wonderful beers brewed closer to home."
