“Welsh Steam Ale” launched at Porthmadog Harbour Station

We are delighted to announce that we will be working with Porthmadog local brewery ‘Purple Moose’, who have produced for us a ‘new own-labelled railway themed beer’ exclusively for sale at the railway.

‘Welsh Steam Ale’ is a refreshing golden pale ale – the perfect accompaniment to a magnificent train journey through the mountains.

The Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railway’s Food and Beverage Manager, David Bevan and ‘Purple Moose’ Managing Director, Lawrence Washington met on the platform at Porthmadog Harbour Station to officially launch the new partnership.

The ‘Welsh Steam Ale’ bottle features the signature ‘Purple Moose’ design together with a photo of ‘Welsh Pony’, the historic steam engine that was rededicated last year following a long overhaul.

This ale is now on sale exclusively at railway catering outlets, make sure you grab a bottle to take on the train, to take home with you or to enjoy in Spooner’s beer garden!

It has been a long wait for hospitality but now things are opening, we can all look forward to sitting out on the beer terrace at Spooner’s to enjoy local ale!
