The Bunch of Grapes in Pontypridd will this weekend be holding a golden ales festival, starting on Friday and finishing on Sunday (or earlier if the beer runs out sooner).
Nick Otley, managing director of the Otley Brewing Company, said, “This is the first time we’ve hosted a Golden Ales Festival and we’re looking forward to offering such a top selection of quality ales.
“Golden ales are a fairly new style of lighter beer and they tend to be very hoppy and are particularly good for summer drinking as they go with barbeque food very well. This style of beer is a great introduction to real ale, particularly for lager drinkers who enjoy something light.
“The fact that golden ales are growing in popularity demonstrates how the brewing industry is catering for changing tastes. We stock a golden ales crate through our Real Beer Box website which has been a popular choice so far this summer.”
Live entertainment Friday night with Côr Meibion Pontypridd, and Saturday night sees the return of The BlackHawk Big Band.
