WELSH MOOSE

Come and visit North Wales and drink our beer while you're here. It's great, and so is North Wales!
You will find that our brewery name, along with the names of our standard beers appear in both Welsh and English. The Welsh language is widely spoken in this corner of Wales and for many people it is their first language. If you are a visitor to the area you will see bilingual signs and hear people speaking their native language. Please respect this, it's quite normal and people are very friendly. Diolch yn fawr. You could even have a go at speaking Welsh yourself!

WHO HELPED THE MOOSE?

The brewery project was made possible with assistance from the Welsh Assembly Government through the Assembly Investment Grant scheme.

SIBA

Purple Moose Brewery is a member of SIBA - the Society of Independent Brewers. This trade association was set up by brewers for brewers to share trade information and to campaign on relevant issues in the brewing industry. SIBA helped bring about Progressive Beer Duty which effectively halved the amount of duty payable by small brewers.
