We dropped into the Breconshire Brewery the other day after a walk up Fan Y Big. Couple of v friendly chaps sold us some lovely beer at a very good price. Well worth a visit.

I quite like those weak draft thingys with the widget lol. cheap 'n all... real ale is quite expensive like. I'll buy speckled hen or tanglefoot sometimes as a treat, they come in 4 packs at least lol.
cafferys at the moment though, nothing exiting but nice enough. got 12 cans for £9 in asda, pretty good. that draft guiness is a rip off my local co-op wants £5.55 for 4! although the spar does a 6 pack of 'em for £6.59. still abit much really, ide be just as happy if not more so with murphys.
Not really on topic am i, supposed to be talking about welsh beer.

I missed your point. If you're drinking from a tin then you're walking on the right side of the track. If you were drinking that jazz in the pub however....
tin / bottles mostly.. i cant afford the pub on any regualar basis... why though? whats wrong with a pub cafferys comapred to a tin cafferys? etc..??

I drove up there the other day, they still see to be trying to build a gents - to replace the old gents (i.e. go outside an piss against the wall). Haven't been inside for donkeys years, but it was a great place. Whats the place in the centre of the village, Lamb Hotel?, that used to be a proper spit and sawdust joint.

Are they OK with having kids in there? I went up Craig yr Allt on the weekend, thought about going there, but ended up in the nice, but very expensive, Travellers Rest instead.

Yes, they are fine with kids. We've got four and and they love to go there. Don't know why because the beer garden is pretty basic. It's much nicer than the Travelers Rest though ,IMO.

Smooth bitters are the pits, maaan! It's got to be proper cask. Anything else is just a poor show. And the hangovers! By christ, what a mess.

Thanks scaggs, if its nicer than the travellers rest, then I'll definitely give it a go
... so a cask ale is gonna give me less hangover than a smooth?? i never knew that. Whats the science behind that then? they are all chock full of congeners i cant see what differance a smmoth would make? please educate me
And recommend me a reasonable priced tin of cask while your at it.
(just noticed your tagline, clarks pie's were the best!

I don't know if it's anecdotal or fact, but smooths always seem to give worse hangovers. It's the chemicals they say, but I fully expect to get knocked down on that .
Tins of beer are fine. I drink beers with widgets in, no bother.
I can throw a stone and hit the Clarks Pie Shop from here.

Beers with widgets are what makes them smooth... they basically bombard ya beer with carban dioxide and/or nitrogen bubbles and create the 'surge' effect and creamy head.
In the pub this happans somwhere near the top of the tap and generally to a greater leval, but its the same thing going on. either that or smooth beer has much differant ingreadiants aswell as the widget bubbles i dont really know tbh.
smooths are hangover heavy, i agree.
peace
nitro-keg = made-up beers = monstrous hangover
I remember a night on Caffreys, fucking hell, ouch
So all the smooth flow shit is just fake plastic beer? i can agree with that i suppose. Pitty coz they taste allright but f*ck 'em. Imma stick to cask from now on.
trouble with cask is they expensive... single bottles like, unless you get the red john smoths but thats abit mingin. Mccewans(sp) is allright. I dont think ive had a cask SA in my life, just the smooth one.

Time to dabble! but again, tins with widgets aren't satan's arsecrack. That's just the stuff on tap.

jeez i remember caffreys first coming out, pound a pint at the devonport labour club, havent drunk it since, fooking murder!
Our local CAMRA lot are doing an all day coach trip from Swansea to Brecon for that very purpose, on November 20th. Can't wait!
Believe the plan is to visit the Red Lion Penderyn -- mentioned by dynamicbaddog and others earlier -- on the way back. It's truly a grand place, we've been several times and it's excellent, lovely atmosphere. Fires on a cold winter night too!
Another remote/hard to get to but highly recomemnded alehouse is the Ancient Briton, Penycae (upper Swansea Valley)
