Mitchells & Butlers' Nicholson’s brand unveils details of autumn beer festival: Mitchells & Butlers has unveiled detail of its autumn beer festival, held between 31 October and 16 November, showcasing a range of dark beers, including 13 ales from some of the UK’s best brewers, and three specialist beers created via a "brewing lottery" the chain is calling “Whose Beer Is It Anyway?” Festival beers will include Red Squirrel’s London Porter, Itchen Valley’s Dark Solstice and Wild Beer Co’s Scarlet Fever, as well as the “Whose Beer Is It Anyway?” ales devised by the head brewers of Purity, Brains and Adnams. The three brewers, charged with producing a trio of “improvised brews”, determined the characteristics of their beers by drawing lots at random from three pots, divided into style, abv range and hop region. The three beers are currently being created by the respective breweries, with the finished products to be unveiled at the beginning of the festival. The improvised brews will be available as individual pints or in a tasting stick of 1/3 pint glasses, with an online vote conducted to ascertain the most popular creation. The winning beer will then be announced at the end of the festival, before being re-brewed and made available for the rest of the winter.
