St David’s Day Real Ale Festival

Posted on 28. Feb, 2010 by Robert Gale in Beer Festivals, Pubs

UK pub chain JD Wetherspoon is currently running a St David’s Day Real Ale Festival that features beer from breweries across Wales. I’m not sure whether this mini beer festival is available in Wetherspoons pubs outside of Wales.

The festival runs between Friday 26th February and Sunday March 7th and will feature 16 ales from Brains, Evan Evans, Rhymney, Celt Experience, Breconshire, Bullmastiff, Conwy and Vale of Glamorgan. The amount of beers available at any one time will vary and depend on each pub. One pub in Newport had just one Welsh ale on whilst another had 7.

St David's Beer Festival

The full list of beers on offer is:-

Brains – St David’s Ale
Brains – Reverend James
Breconshire – Cribyn
Breconshire – Red Dragon
Bullmastiff – Iechyd Da
Bullmastiff – Son of a Bitch
Celt Experience – Celt Golden
Celt Experience – Cwrw Dewi Sant
Conwy – Welsh Pride
Conwy – St David’s Ale
Evan Evans – Cwrw
Evan Evans – Dewi Sant
Rhymney – Dark

Vale of Glamorgan – Fee Fi Fo Fum

As well as the Welsh beer, each pub serves Welsh food such as cawl and dragon sausages (obviously not made from real dragons) and they have a special offer of faggots and peas and pint for £4.99.
