X-Ray Xtra, Louise Elliott and the team take on your consumer battles.  Nan Pickering from BBC Wales X-Ray Xtra programme visited the Blue Bell Inn, Halkyn to discuss one-third pint measures.  While discussing these measures we enjoyed beer from Facers (Blue Bell Bitter), Eastgate Ale from Weetwood, Leggers Ale from Wye Valley and Honey Trap from Spitting Feathers. 

Do you agree with the verdict? - personally it's not for us at the Blue Bell Inn however I suspect that it might suit other publicans - but what do the customers think?  Why not add an account to submit  your own comments.

The show went out on Tuesday 5th September 2006 use the link to hear it again. We're about 21 min into the broadcast but you might like to listen to the whole programme through the links below.
