Craft Beer & Ales – A Taste of Welsh Brewing

Wales has a thriving craft beer scene, and Snowdon Craft Beer showcases the best of it with bold, flavourful brews crafted at the base of the iconic mountain. Offering a range of traditional ales and modern styles, Snowdon’s beers reflect the spirit of adventure and natural beauty of Eryri (Snowdonia).

In Bala, Stori Wine and Beer is not just a bottle shop—it’s a hub for Welsh brewing culture. With a focus on local cask and keg beers, Stori supports independent Welsh brewers, offering everything from sessionable pale ales to rich stouts and seasonal specialties. It’s the perfect place to explore the diversity of Welsh beer, whether you're a seasoned enthusiast or new to the world of craft ales.

World Wines

We take a lot of time and effort (and tasting!) to choose our wines, taking inspiration from around the world. We work closely with our suppliers who are constantly introducing us to new tipples to try as well as stocking our staple favourites that we know our customers love. Take a look at our ‘wine of the moment’ board for some seasonal inspiration.

Our wine list has been carefully chosen to both compliment our menu as well as be enjoyed on their own.
