My Great Welsh Beer and Cider Festival drinking list.
I had a plan but it soon went to pot but with the freebies, who cares?
First time in the Millennium Stadium and all the talk was about the increase in entrances fees. However it was a sunny day and they had the roof open.
| And as a CAMRA (Campaign for Real Ale) member, a free half pint. |  |
|
| FUBAR – Tiny Rebel – 4.4% ABV. A- Champion Beer of Wales 2014 |  |
|
| Pilsner – Zero Degrees – 4.8% ABV. B+ Clean but full of flavour (freebie) |  |
|
| Wheat ale – Zero Degrees – 4.2% ABV. B++ like a certain Belgian Wheat beer but better (freebie) |  |
|
| Sagres – 5.0% ABV. B+ freebie lager from Portugal (freebie) |  |
|
| La Tene – Celt Experience – 3.3% ABV. B++ hugely punches above its weight Hoppy Heaven. Brewed in Caerphilly. |  |
|
| Afghan Pale Ale – Greytrees – 6.0% ABV. B++ Complex Craft ale and wait for the long finish. Brewed up Aberdare way. |  |
|
| Sakura – Otley – 4.8% ABV. B++ Wheat beer with a subtle cherry finish. Brewed up Ponty way. |  |
|
| St Gwendoline’s – Rotters – 5.0%. B+ all up front and no finish |  |
|
| Stars and Stripes – Brains Craft – 4.5% ABV. B++ Hazy, cold and very refreshing. Wonderful. |  |

No rain this year
 |
 |

| Still says the CIA | Somewhat different light balanced but it is air conditioned | |
 |
 |
|
| Those fine Otley boys | Brains and their craft brews, pride of the Capital | |
 |
 |
|
| Celt from Caerphilly | No hard to see where these boys are from | |
 |
 |
|
| The mighty Tiny Rebel Brewing Co from Newport | The Emergency Tiny Rebel van | |
 |
 |
|
| The Emergency Tiny Rebel T-shirt | Not just beers |
A drought but not of fine ales
