Originally posted by chriso Currently sat here with a broken collarbone, can't really brew with that :-) When I brew I still prefer to keep the beer local, I like going to places and finding different beers rather than finding the usual suspects all over the place. |
Originally posted by chriso Close. I was Sandstone rather than Jolly Brewer, albeit still with Pene. I left when that business got sold. Don't tend to tweet as much these days. Bit bored with the FOMO craftie scene. |
If you find yourself in Mid Wales and fancy some mead you can try this place. |
Originally posted by jamesbwxm Thanks for the update James. Get well soon. I know what you mean about the usual suspects. Especially with the number of bandwagon-jumping "craft" beer bars about these days, operated by people who don't know that much about the beer scene so tend to go for the big names. I like to travel around to drink local beers locally too, but there's a limit to the time I have available for it so some places inevitably get neglected. It's probably about 20 years since I last set foot in Wrexham. |

Originally posted by minutemat Don't take the Llanberis path up Snowdon whatever you do, it's a completely dull slog. If you've got a good head for heights and plenty of time and it's calm and dry, the Snowdon Horseshoe via Crib Goch is a cracking route. The Watkins Path is one of the prettiest and quietest routes up the mountain but has the most ascent. The Pyg Track/Miners Path circuit is relatively quick and quite varied but also busy (you'll need to be at the car park before 9 most days). It goes without saying that the weather can vary dramatically and unexpectedly on Snowdon, so if you're planning doing it make sure you have the right kit. Pete's Eats closed before 6 when I was there a few years ago, but there was a cracking curry house next door. Beer options in Llanberis were pretty restricted, don't know if they've improved since. We did get introduced to bar skittles by an elderly local in one of the pubs though. |
