Battle of the Welsh Brewers begins Next Week

Welsh brewers gear up for Champion Beer of Wales Award.
Brewers from across Wales will be heading to Cardiff next week for the Champion Beer of Wales Competition, to be held at the Great Welsh Beer & Cider Festival, Cardiff International Arena.
With nearly 40 breweries in Wales at the moment, it will be a tough job to decide which beer wins the coveted title of 'Champion Beer of Wales'.
