Meet the brewers at the Blue Bell

For those of you around North Wales on Wednesday night, the award-winning Blue Bell in Halkyn will be playing host to a 'Meet the Brewer' night from 5pm on Wednesday 16th February with members of the Association of Welsh Independent Brewers, AWIB, popping along.
Brewers attending so far: Breconshire, Conwy, Facers, Jacobi, Jolly Brewer, Montys, Purple Moose, Sandstone, Otley, and Waen, with a few others likely to turn up as well it looks like we will have to invent a collective known for a group of Welsh brewers - a bevy of brewers? Or a cwtch of Welsh brewers?
More details can be found on the Facebook group here.
