Welsh beverages

Welsh Spirits:

The Welsh have a large variety of alcoholic beverages, ranging from ale to beer, and from liqueur to wine. Most of it is produced in Wales, and some of the breweries have been in business for centuries. Although not well-known as voracious drinkers like the Irish or the Russians, the Welsh can certainly hold their own. Liqueurs: Coffi Cymreig (Sweet Coffee Cream): Made with "Tenby Blend" coffee, this liqueur is smooth, rich and creamy.
