The Glyntwrog Inn, Llanrug, Caernarfon

A return visit recently was prompted by my daughter and her husband having bought a house in the nearby village of Cwm-y-glo, just a mile away from the Glyntwrog. We called in - it would have been rude not to - and were pleasantly surprised to see that the bar is no longer blighted by the national beers previously stocked. (For "national" read Marstons, of course, as Brains no longer brew their own beers.) The two beers on the bar were a blonde and an IPA from Bragdy Lleu, just under 10 miles away. The brewery and their beers are named after legendary Welsh heroes. (Lleu - pronounced "thlay" - was a legendary warrior, while my daughter's blonde beer was called Blodeuwedd, a woman made from flowers by a wizard, and my very good IPA was named Bendigeidfran after a mythical Welsh king.) I wouldn't be surprised if I call in again before too long.
