WREXHAM LAGER products were recently showcased at the Houses of Parliament.

As part of the Taste Wales event at Westminster, 12 businesses from across the country were invited to London to show off the very best of what Wales has to offer.

Wrexham Lager was joined by the likes of other industry leaders such as fellow north Wales-based brand, Snowdonia Cheese, on the day.

Taking place in the Jubilee room, Joss Roberts, who represented Wrexham Lager, had the opportunity to speak with MPs from constituencies from all over the UK about Wrexham Lager’s past, present and what is to come in the future.

He said: "Being recognised and invited to this event is a testament to the rich history and hard work that is being done at Wrexham Lager. But, the lager brewery would mainly like to send a heartfelt thanks to their loyal customers and wonderful community because none of this would be possible without them!"

In 2000, the business stopped producing Wrexham Lager products, the site was demolished and changed into a shopping outlet.

However, there was a revival of the Wrexham Larger product in 2011 with brothers Mark Roberts and Vaughan Roberts building a much smaller but successful brewery which has led to great success and even the opening of the brewery shop.
