This is such a brilliant idea that it deserves reporting.   Seven pubs in Northⁱ Wales got together and had a beer festival on Saturday 19th July 2008 with a bus running between them until after closing time.   This is such a good idea and use of local resources for many reasons;

• Each pub doesn't need to stump up the cost of the entire festival itself
• Each pub only needs a few extra beers each to make large amount of beer choice available
• It promotes local pubs
• It helps locals meet each other
• It supports local beer & breweries
• It promotes public transport
• It discourages car use & drink driving

The pubs involved were;

• Kinmel Arms, Llandyrnog
• Golden Lion, Llandyrnog
• White Horse, Llandyrnog
• White Horse, Henderwydd
• Golden Lion, Llangynhafal
• Griffin , Llanbedr
• Three Pigeons, Graigfechan

This time next year I shall be living in Lancashire - a bit closer than my current home near Southamptonⁱ - & I hope to go the 2nd Vale of Clwyd Beer Festival.
