In June 2012 the Campaign for Real Ale will be transforming the Motorpoint Arena, formerely the Cardiff International Arena, into the biggest pub in Wales.

The Great Welsh Beer & Cider Festival is the premier real ale event in Wales and includes the Champion Beer of Wales competition which is held on the Friday. There are now around 35 real ale breweries in Wales and we hope to present beers from them all, as well as real ale from across the UK.

Altogether the festival will feature over 150 different real ales and more than 40 ciders as well as an unbeatable selection of foreign beers.
