If you thought an East Coast showcase meant choosing between a thousand shades of hazy IPA, you'd be wrong. At least you would in this instance, for here it's geography over style.
Carwyn Cellars' East Coast Showcase is a relatively rare glimpse into the world of breweries from the far side of the USA – Virginia, New York, Maine and Massachusetts.
The Thornbury boozer has snaffled 11 kegs from the Aslin Beer Company, Grimm Artisanal Ales, Oxbow Brewing Company and Honest Weight Artisan Beer which they'll be tapped from midday on February 29.
