I was introduced to this word via a beer
https://www.tinyrebel.co.uk/beer/cwtch
I am partial to Tiny Rebel beers, they are brewed in Newport and have been delivering to my house quite regularly during lockdown. The pronunciation and meaning of the word cwtch was explained to me by a colleague who has a Welsh wife.
Some of their beers are great, others not so.
The brewery is a couple of minutes drive from my house and I regularly spend an evening in the onsite bar/terrace getting extremely pished.
They have a great selection of beers on site with plenty of seasonal offerings and a smattering of non-production concoctions (really don't mind being a guinea pig
).
One of my favourites was an IPA called 'In and around the mouth'. I say was as they'd stopped brewing it when I last visited.
They also produce a Cwtch gin
, but I don't get involved in that.
A small group of us went on a tour of the brewery last April.
It was informative, yet pretty basic, although I haven't been to any others to make a comparison.
They were in the planning phases for a new distribution centre opposite the brewery such has been the explosion in their popularity worldwide.
No idea how that is progressing though.
Sorry for the slight derailment ...
