David Cassidy, chair of Renfrewshire CAMRA, said: "We're really excited to be coming back to Paisley Food and Drink Festival again this year.

"The cask beer has been sourced only from breweries across the length and breadth of Scotland providing an even larger choice to the beer connoisseur, be them young or old, and we have a beer for all tastes from pale, golden, ruby and dark ales.

"The keg beer bar offers a selection of beer from Scotland and Ireland specialising in fruit, sour, pales and pilsners.

"I would add that we have the biggest selection of Scottish beer so far this year as well as the best selection of sours in the west of Scotland.

"If you're looking to try something new, we would encourage you to come by the Renfrewshire CAMRA Beer Tent and sample the wide range of cask-conditioned ales and craft beers we'll have available."

Paisley Food and Drink Festival will take place in the town's Abbey Close and Bridge Street, from 4pm to 10pm on Friday, April 21, and between noon and 9pm on Saturday, April 22.
