Arvon Ales Llandindod Wells presentation 2024 RadnorshireCAMRA Awards Day for LLandrindod Wells Oct 05 2024. Local members Chris. Terry, Graham, Dave G, and Tony (a non-member) met at the Temple Bar in Llandrindod Wells. and went straight to our reserved big table at the Temple Bar The Butty Bach was soon replaced by London Pride, with HPA and a 3 Tuns also available. Then owner John was presented with his Licensee Pack for GBG 2025, probably the first time he has been in it. "The icing on the cake was two bowls of chips between us, with a scoop of mayonnaise on one and a bucket of tomato sauce on the other. Tony was on a no chips diet, so more for us".

    Then everyone went onto Arvon Ales just 75 meters up the road. There were 3 Wye valley beers to choose from and another three from various breweries including Kinver and Green Duck. There has been a minor change of management, but it looks like it will stay as it is. Manager Christine was presented with their GBG 2025 Licensee Pack. The first one since John and Laura sold the place.

  • Aberedw Branch visit Tuesday 9 July 2024

    Saturday 06/07/2024 four Radnorshire CAMRA members shared Chris's car and went to the Seven Stars at Aberedw. This community "Buy out" opened in 2019. It was a sadly 'normal' summer day, so we were glad the fire was burning in the background. No-one else was seated in the place, but a few locals passed through during the afternoon. Beer choice was, Wye Valley Butty Bach or HPA. These are regulars, there are no changing beers. Peter, who oversees the place, has been a Radnorshire CAMRA member for years, so no surprise that the beers were in excellent condition. It is a nice olde worlde beamed pub with lots of atmosphere. No TV or music to distract us, so we spent the time happily chatting. Bar staff were as friendly as always, a lot of them live in the village or vicinity. Lunch time sandwiches were available to order, Chris. had bacon, I had sausage and Dave D. had a bacon and sausage combined.
