From Pontypridd to Brussels

I attended the Welsh-themed British Beer Club Christmas Reception in Brussels on Monday. A total of forty five brewers from Wales were invited to take part, one of which was the Otley Brewery from Pontypridd.

Events like this are important in promoting Welsh produce overseas and I’m always keen to lend my support. My congratulations to the British Beer Club for their work, and to those Welsh brewers who took part.

It was great to see a number of local brewers from Wales taking part, and both Nick and Matthew Otley from the Otley brewery in Pontypridd were there to promote their selection of real ales.

I hope this will help open new markets for their fine Welsh produce, perhaps not in time for this Christmas, but certainly in time for the next!
