MORE than 40 bottled craft beers and ciders feature at the Beer Heroes Beer Festival in Barnton next month.

The festival takes place at Barnton Memorial Hall in Townfield Lane on Saturday, December 12.

Doors open at 5.30pm, and last orders are at 10.30pm.

The evening will include beer tasting sessions from craft beer specialist Vertical Drinks, live music and stone-baked pizzas from Jordy’s Pizza.

The beers and ciders come from the UK, USA and Europe, and tickets are £5, which include entrance, a branded glass, beer menu with tasting notes and a free drink.

The breweries due to feature at the festival include Mobberley Fine Ales.

The festival is run by Barnton-based online beer store BeerHeroes.com, which was launched in December last year by Carl Ball and his wife Kelly, who own Nisa Local in Runcorn Road, Barnton.
