Last Orders for Beer & Cider Festival
November 23, 2007
The last weekend in November will see time finally called for Cardiff City Hall as the venue for the Great Welsh Beer & Cider Festival. The hugely successful festival, which regularly attracts over 4000 customers has been organised by CAMRA, the Campaign for Real Ale, for 7 years at the historic venue. However thousands of thirsty customers need not fear as in June next year the Great Welsh Beer & Cider Festival will be even bigger and better at the new venue, Cardiff International Arena.The Great Welsh Beer & Cider Festival will be featuring real ales, both bottled and on draught from across Wales and the rest of the UK, as well as ciders and perries, many from Welsh producers as well as a range of German beers, both on draught and bottled.
One of the highlights of the Festival will be the Champion Beer of Wales competition, announced on the Friday afternoon. Judged by CAMRA members and brewing industry experts, many Welsh breweries regard this as the highpoint of their year. Competition is even more fierce this year with over 35 real ale breweries now brewing in Wales.
