After an awesome and busy day in Wales we headed back to our Hotel, well the Hotel in front of our camping site. ;) We started at the Cadbury's factory, explored Betws-y-coed and the Wales countryside, visited Caernarfon Castle and finally visited the Swallow Falls Waterfall. It was time for a well deserved beer and some planning for the days to come.
No better place for local beers than the Swallow Falls Hotel. This is the front of the hotel in Wales.
We pitched our tents right behind the hotel so the idea was to grab some drinks and then retire to our tents with some snacks we bought earlier in the day. Here is our tents pitched on nice soft grass. The spot is very nice, accept for the flesh eating little bugs that fly around - called Midges! Luckily the loved Mariette, so the rest of us were spared.
The hotel was basically empty and so we chose a table and ordered some beers. We were looking for local beers, but the bar tender was fairly insistent on us NOT trying them. He said their terrible, so for the first round we got some Beck's etc, fairly nice.
Of course, after a round or two we insisted on the Welsh Beer. What a mistake... the beer taste terrible. I don;t know what they are called, but I don't want to know. We ended up playing drinking games with the beer. The photo series below tells the full story of trying the Welsh Beer the first time. ;)

Wow, look like you guys having a great time over there. When I saw this I need a holiday too. Thanks for sharing @extremejogging. Enjoy with your holiday. Upvoted and greeting @chanthasam
Nice place wales would love to explore it properly at some point. Welsh beer must be real ale, rather nice in my view must have been a bad barrel or the end of one! 💯🐒
I'm not sure, but it was truly terrible. I've had beer van Germany, Belgium, South African, Mozambique, Nigeria, Mauritius and Welsh were the worst. I'll have to go back there one day to give it another chance. ;)
Shame you can't remember the name. Maybe it was a home brew from the hotel. You should get on the Cornish beer and English next time a good ale 💯🐒
