Aberystwyth HOMEBREW CLUB

By:Gareth Davies
Share post:
MASHED ISSUE 15

Exciting news! We’re starting a homebrew club in the centre of Aberystwyth. The club is open to all levels. It doesn’t matter if you have never brewed before or you’re a seasoned veteran – all are welcome! Come join and share your love for craft beer.

 The idea is to meet monthly. We’re planning a varied programme throughout the year with a mix of collaborative brewing, beer sampling and interesting talks to help members learn about technique, equipment, styles of beer, ingredients and more. There will be social events too, like brewery visits and a catch up over a craft brew in local pubs and bars. Whilst we love our homebrew, supporting local pubs is really important to us! 

If you fancy brewing together, we can find a venue and bring along our brewing equipment – a great way to try professional equipment without having to buy it yourself! And don’t worry if you’ve never brewed before, we’ll show you how.  

 Not local to Aberystwyth or Ceredigion? Join our mailing list for news of brew club events this summer - you’re welcome to join as a guest. Aberystwyth is by the sea and is perfect for a weekend away or holiday! Or join our Facebook group to take part in the conversation online. See the link below. Hope to see you soon.

A Pint with… Andy N., Homebrewer

I live in Cardiff but I’m originally from Lancashire. I am retired and started brewing when my children bought me a BrewDog 1 gallon brew-in-a-bag kit just after lockdown in 2020. The results were successful so I started looking at other kits and equipment, and came across the Dark Farm (MASHED) kits and eventually tried them all.

This issue has become something of a shrine to IPAs and Aberystwyth - and rightly so!
