🍺✨ Welsh Folklore: The River of Beer ✨🍺

As the story goes, long ago in Wales, a young man discovered a magical handmill that could grant any wish. But when his brother wished for endless beer... the handmill overflowed! 🍻

A river of beer poured into Cardigan Bay, flooding the land and causing merry mayhem! Mermaids appeared, villagers danced, and the hills echoed with laughter – all thanks to a brew gone wild.

This cheeky Welsh folk tale reminds us: be careful what you wish for – especially when it involves beer! 😄

🔮 Expect magic, mischief, and most importantly, just the right amount of beer at Aber Beer Fest 2025!
