A Saturday swan around that lovely bit of North Wales that offers escape from the crowded summer honeypots of Snowdonia (lovely though it is too). This is proper beer and pub tourism, you just can't do alone. A photo-file report here.
Recently we ventured out into North Wales for a Heritage Pub Tour, which took in four outstanding village pubs. Here's a few photos captured over the day. All excellent pubs with outstanding welcomes from landlords, staff and locals. We did it in July to catch the weather and long evenings, of course it rained later on the day, but that is North Wales for you - never mind, with pubs like this it really didn't matter. Their history goes back to the 1800s, but are now all serving excellent ales from the likes of Big Hand, Facers, Wye Valley and Salopian.
Let's go again then!
Voted a cracking day out, the tour was a great success and we thank all our hosts and their teams for looking after us so well. Yes. we will do it again before too long, maybe on a clear and crisp winter's day when we can enjoy open fires and wood burners. Cheers to North Wales.
Bespoke party tours can be arranged anytime, just ask us.

Here's what some two had to say:
"A fantastic tour around North Wales, a great variety of pubs and beers, with superb company and well guided by Steve."
From Rupert and Howard, independent pub company executives.
"It was a great day, shame about the weather! The Crown was a well run family pub in a special setting - if the sun had shone it would it would have been even better. The Rose & Crown was the highlight though. What I call a proper pub. Well looked after ales and a witty barmaid. I sampled two of the ales here, Hereford Pale and Salopian Getting Away With It..... both hit the spot!"
Dan, supermarket logistics executive.
Cheers and thanks then, Steve
