The independence of creating that magical Welsh Ale dates much further than the naughties, in fact there are many historical references to Welsh Ale, or bragawd, a honey based drink, more akin to mead than today’s beer, as a sought after commodity. It was brewed by monks in Tintern Abbey, perhaps even gracing the famous Cauldron of Ceridwen as hinted in the tales of Taliesin. The recipe for Guinness is even controversially claimed to be Welsh, borrowed from a Welshman in Pembrokeshire, and for the sake of not stirring the pot of controversy no more will be said about it.
Each area of Wales has its distinctive taste, from its capitol, Cardiff, the “cymoedd”, the South Wales Valleys, the south western cities of Swansea and Carmerthen to the tips of the Gower and Pembrokeshire, St Davids up to Aberystwyth, the historic seat of Owain Glyndwr in Machynlleth, following the Wales Coast Path as it winds North to Caernarfon and Bangor, gracing the shores of Anglesey, touching Beaumaris and back through the Welsh countryside of Snowdonia and the Brecon Beacons.
