DRINKERS can sample award-winning ales from across the world during an annual festival at a Worcester pub.

The Postal Order, in Foregate Street, has lined up 45 beers for its Oktoberfest, which runs until Sunday, October 17.

All will be £1.49 per pint and the top imports include St Georgen Brau Keller Bier, from Germany, Herold Schwartz Bier, from the Czech Republic and Budels Parel, from Holland.

UK favourites will also be on offer, including Kelham Island Pale Rider, Oakham White Dwarf and Nethergate Old Growler - all winners at the Great Britain Beer Festival.

"The festival will give people the opportunity to enjoy a wide range of wonderful tasting beers, including some which are not normally available in the country," said bar manager Andrew Hunt.

"There will also be a good choice of beers, many of which have won awards, from all over the UK."
