Incredible colour changing skies - it's never the same twice. Here is another early morning scene by the lake at Pen-y-Bont Hotel, Tal-y-Llyn.

I post a lot of pictures of the view on here, for obvious reasons. It is our Unique Selling Point and the reason why we are here. So it is by design rather than luck that we get to see some of the magic moments that nature presents at the Pen-y-Bont Hotel, Tal-y-Llyn. No two pictures are the same. This time, it was as if the sky had been bent, perhaps as seen through a lens or the bottom of a bottle ; )

For those of you in England and South Wales who have been basking in the sun, the sunny weather has only just reached Talyllyn today. I speak with customers on the phone, who are amazed that we have been no hotter than 18 degrees Celsius! Anyway, the sunshine has now arrived so get yourselves over here for that well-earned break!

Great Beer and a top company. To win CAMRA GOLD in Great Britain is a breath taking achievement. The cask version is gluten free (but you would never know). Pen-y-Bont Hotel, Tal-y-Llyn loves Purple Moose Brewery/Bragdy Mŵs Piws!

🏆 GOLD for Glaslyn🏆

Last night, Glaslyn won GOLD in the Session Bitter category at the CAMRA Champion Beer of Britain national final.

That alone means a lot to us. But what makes it even more special is that it is 19 years since Glaslyn first won category Gold in the very same competition.

The recipe has not changed. It is still the same Glaslyn we have brewed here in Porthmadog for years.

The only difference now is that Glaslyn, like all of our cask ales, is gluten free. And this award is a brilliant reminder that the quality, flavour and character of the beer are still exactly where they should be.

A huge credit to our brewers, who continue to brew beers with the same care, consistency and quality today as we did 19 years ago.

A proud day for Mŵs Piws, and a big thank you to everyone who has enjoyed Glaslyn over the years.

Bluebells are in abundance this year around Talyllyn. Here is a view from above the Pen-y-Bont Hotel on a recent walk. All the way up the lane, as it takes you around the edge of Llyn Mwyngil, were carpets of bluebells and white campion. Turning off onto the Bridle Path and taking the woodland trail up the hill you come to fields full of bluebells - a spectacular sight!
