YO-HO Tokyo Black from Japan and Stone California Double IPA from the USA are among the more unusual beers that will be on offer during a 19-day beer festival at two local pubs.

The J D Wetherspoon outlets, The Joseph Bramah in Barnsley and The Horse Shoe in Wombwell, are staging the festival from Thursday, March 27 to Monday, April 14.

During that time, all cask-conditioned beers will be priced from £1. 39 to £1.49 a pint.

Wetherspoons say the Japanese and American beers are being brewed exclusively in England for the festival and have not previously been sold in UK pubs.
