Beer Festivals around South Wales this weekend

First up is a mention to Swansea Bay Beer Festival
Beer & cider list is available here

If you are ever near Aberdare the Red Cow, Llwydcoed, home of the Grey Trees Brewery, is well worth a visit but tonight (Thursday 24th) they are holding another one of their 'Hop Rocket' nights in which a beer is forced through a device on the bar that is packed with fresh hops.
Tonight Castle Rocks Harvest Pale and Amarrilo,Citra, Cascade (US), Goldings, Challenger(UK),Pacific Gem(NZ) hops will be used in the rocket!

Next up, one of my favourite pubs, the Clytha Arms is also holding a Festival over the weekend

The Bell in Caerleon is holding a Festival this weekend

CAMRA National Cider Pub of the Year 2011 so expect a lot of good ciders and perries as well as real ales there. It was also a winner in the Echo Food & Drink Awards 2011/12 and does not smell of fish.
