The Welsh National Mountain Centre at
Plas y Brenin has
just become even more excellent with the
launch of its own beer, Brenin
Bootliquor.
Due
out this weekend, Saturday 7 June, the ale has been brewed locally by
the Nant Brewery and, says the Brenin, 'is the result of months of
rigorous staff testing'. It's also, rather improbably, claimed to
'steeped in legend'. Steeped in old socks more likely we reckon...
Walking For Beer
The brew is going to be exclusively available from the rather
salubrious bar at Plas y Brenin and its launch coincides with a real
ale 'Walking for Beer' course over the weekend which replaces the
centre's wine-tasting sessions.
The weekend combines gentle walking through North Wales with a visit to
a local brewery complete with guided tour and tasting session followed
by an evening, erm, presentation from another local brewer and a
tasting of the new Brenin ale.
Unfortunately it's a tad late to book onto the two-day course, but you
can find details of the centre's other activities including the
wine-tasting weekends at

from walking boots and dubbin indeed ;-)
