Profile Information

Favorite beer style(s) of the moment:
All brewed beers but old ales & porters hit the mark with me, closely followed by milds & stouts and the odd bitter.
Who am I?:
Built in the mid 1700s at the crossroads of two old coaching routes, the Blue Bell Inn is purportedly named after a local privateer’s boat the Blue Bell. Legend has it that he was later caught and hanged for his piracy and is thought to be buried a few hundred yards away in the cemetery next to Halkyn Castle.

We are an independent, family run, award winning freehouse - Regional Cider Pub of the Year 2007, runner-up Pub of the Year 2006/7. With an extensive events list we are enjoyed by walkers, riders, cyclists, folk & jazz musicians, game players and locals alike. At 850 feet we are near the top of Halkyn Mountain with spectacular 70 mile views over the Dee & Mersey rivers, the distant Cumbrian mountains & Pennine hills. Real fires in winter add to the warm welcome.

We’ve had hundreds of different cask ales to date and our own local Welsh brewed Blue Bell Bitter is always on along with other regularly changing real ales, ciders and perrys - we even make our own Rosie's Blue Bell Cider. You will find us in the Good Pub, Cider and Beer Guides and we have a Cask Marque for quality, in fact we are one of the highest scoring cask marque pubs in the UK with a maximum 100% score.

Our food is a mixture of locally sourced, home-made and traditional meals ranging from lighter bites to those that challenge the hungry.

Wow, you had me intrigued at cask ales! Unfortunately it's difficult to find'em in the US. By the way, I like the story behind the name of your establishment!
