Over a hundred ales and ciders on offer
Beer enthusiasts can look forward to a weekend to remember - as the Isle of Man Grand Beer Festival officially opens at the Villa Marina this evening (Thursday).
The event begins with a sponsors-only session tonight, before punters are able to sample more than a hundred cask ales, craft beers and ciders from tomorrow.
Musical entertainment and food will also be on offer for up to 2,500 people to enjoy over the three days.
