Organiser Derek Henderson explained: "We have got 58 beers. Most of them are Scottish but there are beers from all over England as well.

"We have 12 ciders and we have a gin, wine and prosecco bar that is being run by the Stirling Distillery.

"It is taking place in Alloa Town Hall so we will set up on Wednesday and Thursday and the doors will open to the public at 1pm on Friday."

The Alloa Hub has been selected as the nominated charity for the event while entertainment will be provided by Stuart Blackwell on Friday evening and Sound Cradle on Saturday.

The event will be on from 1pm until 11pm on Friday and between midday and 11pm on Saturday. More details can be obtained from the Forth Valley CAMRA Facebook page.
