In a bid to rejuvenate a waterside spot, plans for a fresh bar and brewery have gained approval in Caernarfon. Bragdy Nonsens, the brains behind the project, aims to convert a section of the former Celtica unit at Doc Fictoria, Caernarfon.
The establishment, which ceased operations in 2016, is poised for a lively revival with the proposed addition of a brewery and taproom. Bragdy Nonsens envisions a space where patrons can savour locally brewed beers alongside Welsh spirits and tempting charcuterie boards.
Following the nod from planners at Cyngor Gwynedd, the brewery is set to kick off with two distinct ranges of beers. Moreover, the taproom, gracing the picturesque setting of Doc Fictoria, has been granted operational permissions extending until 10pm on most days, with extended hours until 1am on Fridays and Saturdays.
The individual spearheading Bragdy Nonsens brings a wealth of experience to the table. Having managed Tafarn Y Glob in Bangor, their passion for brewing led to the decision to embark on this entrepreneurial journey. Discussing the brewery’s ethos, they expressed gratitude for the overwhelming support from locals and fellow breweries alike, which propelled their vision forward.
“The core range will feature a selection of IPAs, stouts, blondes, and more, alongside a refreshing sour range for aficionados of fruity brews,” shared the representative of Bragdy Nonsens. Highlighting the collaborative spirit within the local hospitality industry, they revealed plans to distribute the brewery’s offerings across a network of ten pubs in Bangor and Anglesey.
With a strategic location overlooking Doc Fictoria, the taproom promises a unique experience for patrons. Situated amidst a row of restaurants, it aims to carve its niche by offering a curated selection of locally sourced spirits alongside Bragdy Nonsens’ own brews. However, it’s worth noting that the taproom will not offer cooked meals but will instead focus on serving artisanal charcuterie boards to complement the libations.
The approval of Bragdy Nonsens’ proposal heralds a new chapter for Caernarfon’s waterfront district, injecting vitality into a once-dormant space. As construction commences and anticipation mounts, the forthcoming opening of the brewery and taproom is poised to elevate Caernarfon’s culinary and cultural landscape.
In conclusion, the approval of Bragdy Nonsens’ plans represents not only a triumph for the local brewing scene but also a testament to the resilience of entrepreneurs in the face of adversity. With its commitment to quality, community engagement, and culinary innovation, Bragdy Nonsens is primed to become a cherished addition to Caernarfon’s vibrant tapestry of establishments. As the countdown to its grand opening begins, all eyes are on Doc Fictoria, eagerly awaiting the arrival of this eagerly anticipated waterside gem.
