The Farsons Great Beer Festival is rounding off its last evening with Malta's own Rock 'n' Roll legend, Freddie Portelli, in the gardens of Ta' Qali National Park tonight. The festival is open from 7.30 p.m. onwards and entrance is free.

Musical entertainment starts at 9 with Lynn and Antoine Faure on the Main Stage, followed by Freddie Portelli. The Rock Stage @ World Beers area features popular rock bands Crosswalk and Fakawi.

Matthew Cuomo, beer festival organiser, said: "During the 10 days of the festival, the gardens at Ta' Qali National Park become a lively, exciting area with thousands of people enjoying the entertainment.

"The gardens have proved to be an excellent location for the Farsons Great Beer Festival. With ample parking, easy access and relaxed atmosphere, the festival continues to be an attraction every year. The very positive feedback we have had from the public encourages us to build on the success of previous editions."

A large range of local brews and international beers are being served from 15 bars. A new special blend of beer with three flavours, MYX, was launched at the festival. Lara Micallef, MYX brand executive, said: "MYX is a blend of beer and one of three great different tastes - refreshing lime, cool cola or fruity blackcurrant.

"Each mix has its own unique flavour, which makes it an ideal cool drink to appeal to everyone's tastes. It combines the attraction of beer with the zippy feel of ready to drink moderate alcohol beverage".

The official festival mug has once again been a big hit with visitors. It is on sale from all bars and is offered full of the beer of choice. Limited stocks of these mugs make them a unique collector's item.

The 24th edition of the Farsons Great Beer Festival is sponsored for the first time by Vodafone Malta Ltd, Danone, Peperami, Veneziani Croissants, Mars Ice-Creams, Surplus and Adventure Equipment Store, Sunshine Snacks and HP Sauces.
