Two new brewsters (female brewers) are showing their stuff at The Welsh Food Festival at Glansevern near Welshpool. Sue Hayward (Waen Brewery) and Pam Honeyman (Monty’s Brewery) are both new to brewing this year, and enjoying rapid growth!

Within 15 miles of each other both are enjoying great popularity with their beers going to The House of Commons Stranger’s bar after the recess! www.thewaenbrewery.co.uk www.montysbrewery.co.uk

The Waen Brewery is based in Penstrowed Powys and is run by husband and wife team Sue and John and their two children Hermia and Oscar ( mean bottlers and fermenter scrubbers!) The brewery has been trading since the beginning of May and has been overwhelmed with public demand for their bottle and cask conditoned ales.

Monty’s is run by Pam Honeyman and based in Montgomery, they started trading this year and has beers in many local pubs and has just started producing Monty’s Sunshine in bottles. They will both be at The Welsh Food Festival for the first weekend in September.
