Most readers probably won't be able to make it in their plane across the
Atlantic, but there are at least some readers who are already on the
right side of that body of water for this one.

The Bay in Port Erin, in the Isle of Man, has a 'Hoptoberfest' - a real
ale festival. EGNS (Ronaldsway) is the closest airport, about 6 miles
away.
Also, the Sidings in Castletown has a fairly wide selection of beer all
year around. They also have a beerfest, I think during the Southern 100
road races in the summer. About 2 miles from EGNS. It's a good time to
go because the best road race of the year is on (there are four - the
TT at the end of May/start of June which is the famous one, on the
mountain circuit, the Southern 100 a few weeks later on a shorter
circuit in the south, the Jurby South which is truly terrifying, and the
Manx GP which is on the TT circuit in August)
