Artisan Brewery Xmas Party

 Some news from Simon at Artisan Brewery:

Grab your Bare Naked 'Bag-For-Life' (£2 at all good brew stores) and trundle those pins down to our Artisan Brewery on the 17th December for the ‘OFFICIAL’ release of our Baltic Porter Espresso 5.8%ABV.

We know some of you have tried it already... well, now's your chance to lug a few bottles home to impress your old man (or lady) over the Xmas table, post-turkey... 

On the day, we will be serving beer by the pint for you to stop, sample, and basically get into the Xmas Party feel of things...

Bottle Sales 12-8pm (10% Discount by the Dozen)

The range: Helles Lager 5.4% / Bavarian Wheat 5.3% / Smoked Lager 5.4% / ALTbeer 5% / Baltic Porter Espresso 5.8%

To mark this momentous Xmas occasion we've teamed up with fellow crafty folk of Kings Rd Arts Studios to hold a day-time market in the ‘Artisan Alley’...

Loosely, the market will run from 10am till 4pm and offer a range of nick-knacks from hand-made jewellery and art, through to pre-loved clothes and bric-a-brac.

We’ll likely have the wood stoves out again for your heating pleasure... so, hope for snow and not for rain. Bring your mates and get geared for our Xmas Brewery Bash
 Entry is still free.

An afternoon in Cardiff

In the tree-lined streets of Pontcanna, hidden behind the houses, the Artisan Brewery flourishes in the yard of the former Walpole Brewery that closed over a century ago. Four beers on today at their first Saturday of the month open day, despite the weather the customers are enjoying the range of beers from a Helles to an Alt with a Bavarian Wheat and even a Chocolate Wheat thrown in. The weather may not be with us today but with a horizontal sail as one of the shelters this just adds to the quirckiness of the event at the Kings Road Arts Studios.
Did I mention the art raffle? Only a pound a ticket to win some locally produced works of art.

Beer, art and barbecue, what more do you want in Cardiff?

Bar Open at Artisan Brewery today

If you are at a loose end in Cardiff this afternoon, why not support a local craft brewery at one of their monthly open days?

Chocolate Wheat is calling I think!

Bar Open - by Royal Appointment?

Looking for another beer event this Friday? Well the Artisan Brewery of Pontcanna will be holding one of their successful and highly popular open days on Friday 29th April 1200-2130hrs.

Beers on will be:
HELLES LAGER 5.4%ABV
ALTbeer 5%ABV
CHOCOLATE WHEAT 5.0%ABV


At the last festival attended by me there a few weeks ago I just stayed on the delicious Chocolate Wheat - it was so nice I did not get around to trying their other beers.


HOT BBQ FOOD (with veg options) available

Entry is free, children and dogs welcome (must be supervised).

Beyond this special Friday event - 'BAR OPEN' will occur first Saturday each month throughout the summer, with the next one on  Saturday May 7th.

Goodnight Beer Festival!

A new year and a new venue for a beer festival. Nosda, Welsh for goodnight, hence the headline, will be hosting its first ever beer festival on Saturday 30th January when Tafarn @ NosDa hosts its first ever Beer Festival!

Situated on the West bank of the Taff, across from the Millenium Stadium, Tafarn @ NosDa is slowly establishing itself to be one of the better bars of Cardiff with ciders from Gwynt and beers from Artisan already available.

The festival on Saturday 30th January will feature live entertainment from 6pm, and beers and ciders from:

• Artisan Brewing Co. has created a range of distinctive, unique and downright bizarre beers all naturally brewed. Sourcing only the finest speciality ingredients from near and afar, Artisan Beers are wholesome and natural, with no filtration, pumps or pasteurisation. You won’t find Artisan beers on the shelves in a supermarket as they’re produced small and kept local.
• Gwynt y Ddraig, the award-winning Welsh Cider & Perry Company made their first few hundred gallons of cider on the home farm in Llantwit Fardre in the autumn of 2001. Since then they have increased production every year and broadened their selection of draught and oak matured bottled ciders.
• Untapped Brewery, run by two old friends, have started off with 2 beers - Sundown and Eclipse. But they’ve already got plans and recipes to make more fantastic beers as time and funds allow.
• Otley Brewery originated back in 2005. As a micro-brewery, Otley Brewery is dedicated to the craft of producing Welsh ale with a difference. They believe in using the highest quality ingredients with every effort made to source produce from the local area, including fresh Breconshire water and the finest malts and hops available.
