10/02/25: Time for an update I feel, The Cwmdu Stout (which hasn't been on for a while) is simply outstanding, for me it is seriously up there with the very best (e.g. Dark side of the moose) a must try. Cwmdu IPA so popular it's back on (earlier than planned) on Friday August 26th (ready for the Bank holiday). New beer added: 08/08/22, Cwmdu IPA, yes I know, a dark IPA, at 4.7%, very moreish. 30/5/22: PT-70 Obviously for the Queens 70th (platinum) jubilee 4.5%. Coal Porter 6.5%. 18/8/21: El Dorado 4.6%. 18/3/20. Liquid gold. Nov 2019 Hadleigh's. 14/8/19: Happy hop. 13/6/19: Amber archer. 29/5/19 Summer Blonde. 11/6/18 Mosaic. 16/4/18 Dragons fire & Pepper corn stout. 2/11/17: Rye & Dry. 24/4/17: Show me the honey. 14/4/17: Gravel rash. 27/3/17: Treacle Toes. This is in this day & age an unusual pub - no meals other than toasties, now added baguettes (August 2022), crisps, nuts & chocolates. Good welcome, excellent ales. New brews on a regular basis (from the on site micro brewery), definitely a must visit for ale enthusiasts - many deserved...

As the pale ale was fruitier, I settled for that. I thoroughly enjoyed my evening there and will definitely be back. They will be having a beer festival on the first bank holiday weekend in May. So make sure you come. It's well worth it. Support local entrepreneurs and stuff the big...
Read moreThe most important thing to know about the Cross is that it has it's own micro brewery. The second is that the beer brewed here under the Cerddin brand is in my opinion amongst the best brewed in Britain. Enough said really. Although I could add that there is also a wide range of ciders on. The beer is a very good price and there is always a welcome.
