The Arfon Real Ale Trail is back on 8th September to the delight of real ale fans! After the success of April’s Trail there is a few changes this trail compared to the last one. Taking in eight pubs – stop-offs include Caernarfon, Bethesda, Y Felinheli and Carneddi – the Trail gives the ale officinados the opportunity to sample some tasty Welsh ales without having to worry who’s going to do the driving. No Designated Drivers needed here a ticket covers your travel.

Ale Trail buses pick up and drop off at each of the pubs on the trail every half an hour, so ale lovers looking for a fun day out with their friends after a busy week at work can enjoy a pint or two without worrying about driving home.

Bangor

On the last Trail a large numbers of ale-loving Bangorians have an amazing day out, sampling some tasty Welsh beer and generally having a splendid time. As there are no pubs participating in Bangor this time, Ale Trail organisers didn’t want them to miss out on September’s Trail, so for the second event, they thought it would be nice to help out their friends in Bangor by organising shuttle buses from Bangor to the start of the Trail.

The shuttle bus from Bangor is free with your £15 Ale Trail ticket but booking is essential as places are limited. To book a seat on the Bangor Shuttle Bus please visit www.realaletrail.co.uk.

The afternoon pick-up (from Bangor Railway Station at 12pm or 12:30pm) delivers you to the Tafarn y Fic in Y Felinheli and the evening pick-up (at 8pm and 8:30pm) takes you back home again from Y Sior in Caernarfon, dropping back in Bangor. https://realaletrail.co.uk/product/bangor-shuttle-bus-ticket/

In between, there’s no need to try to get to every pub – in fact, we would advise you not to – but we would recommend making the most of the fantastic food, incredible scenery and legendary hospitality which makes North Wales the natural home of the Real Ale Trail. Including Newborough Arms in Bontnewydd for the first time, known for its selection of ale and great beer garden. Cwrw Ogwen, Bethseda based microbreweries is taking over the taps at The Victoria in Bethesda for its first ever Tap Takeover for the Trail.
