Tropic-Ale 2019

The late Summer Bank Holiday Weekend
At The Otley Arms – Treforest
Lolffest7 – 03 August 2019
There is something about Lolffest or in this case Lolffest7. It’s a roughly quarterly beer festival at Bragdy Twt Lol, on the Treforest Industrial Estate in South Wales. Bragdy is Welsh for Brewery so if you are an English speaker, so of the spellings may look unusual.
Then of course my local Spoons, The excellent Malcolm Uphill in Caerphilly. Got to do a bit of prep of Lolffest doesn’t start until 12:00
It’s only about a 20 minute bus ride to The Treforest Industrial Estate. Get off at The Pottery. Go down the road between The Pottery and The QED Centre, cross the bridge and it’s 200m on the left hand side.
Take a photo of the nut they said. I had no idea it was Aluminium.
Getting there early gets you the pick of the seats, or in this case casks. Of course I ended up in the corner.
The fridge magnets are bottle openers too. Two Quid to you Guvnor. Pretty Fly For A Magpie was the pick of the Fine Ales. The oversize glass is a winner too.
Hoppy, fruity and refreshing.
It did however rain on the way home. The Great British Summer of course.
