Blas Crickhowell
Wine | Beer | Spirits | Tasting
Gwin | Cwrw | Gwirod | Blasu
Blas is Welsh for taste. It's also what we're about. Located on Beaufort Street in Crickhowell, in the heart of Bannau Brycheiniog, we're an independent wine, beer and spirits shop with a tasting table and quite possibly the smallest of our kind in Wales.
Everything on our shelves has been chosen carefully. You won't find anything here that you can pick up in a supermarket. Welsh producers come first, and the rest of the world earns its place.
We stock around 80 wines, 30 spirits and 60 beers, with a changing selection open to taste. Come in, try something, and if you love it, take a bottle home. That's it. No pressure, no jargon. Just good drinks and honest conversation.
If you'd like to go deeper, ask us about The Fifty. Our founding membership offers preferred pricing and first access to rare and limited releases.
We're open Monday to Saturday. We'd love to see you.
