J D Wetherspoon

Wetherspoon’s pubs are synonymous with real ale – and the resulting awards and recognition received are testament to our passion for serving a great pint. Our pubs have been supporting local microbreweries since we opened the doors of our first pub in 1979, working with local brewers across the country to put local beers on the pumps. The 2019 CAMRA Good Beer Guide includes no fewer than 243 Wetherspoon pubs, consistently more than any other pub chain. We host two annual beer festivals and international brewers’ visits in all our pubs. We also continue to work with a number of UK and international breweries to produce unique collaboration beers exclusively available in our pubs, some being one-offs and others being reoccurring favourites.
