Mold: 'Floret' by Polly's Brew Co. ranked among UK's best
'Floret', created in Mold by Polly's Brew Co, has been listed on We Are Beer's 50 Best Beers in the UK for 2025. It has been placed 40th in the rankings, above giants like BrewDog's Punk IPA, Theakston's Old Peculiar and Titanic's Plum Porter. Polly's Co was launched back in 2018 by Arron Fellows, Sean Wheldon and Scott Nixon. Since then, it has grown 'significantly' according to the team and has just recently launched a new restaurant and taproom (Polly's Social) at the Daniel Owen Centre in Mold. They are also now capable of brewing up to eight times a week, have exported to 33 countries across the world, and are widely regarded as one of the highest-rated breweries in Wales. TOP STORIES TODAY Now, Polly's Brew Co's latest success comes via being ranked on the prestigious We Are Beer list. Arron Fellows, head of sales for the business, said: "Our inclusion on We Are Beer's annual list detailing the best in the UK is an incredibly huge honour. To have officially had our flagship pale ale Floret recognised amongst, and in some cases ranking higher than the very beers that inspired us to create Polly's in the first place is a marker of how far we've come since our humble beginnings in 2018. "We can tout how great our beer is until we're red in the face, but when your industry peers, friends in the trade, and our own loyal fans elevate what you bring to the table on something as visually prominent as this, it puts that extra special rubber stamp on things that what you're doing brings so much joy to so many people."

The best BCP pubs for a pint in the sunshine according to readers
The arrival of warmer weather in the summer is an ideal time to enjoy a pint in a sunny beer garden in the BCP area. With there being quite a few options to pick from in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole, you want to pick something that has something a bit special about it. Therefore, we thought it might be best to ask Daily Echo readers for their recommendations. We put out a Facebook post asking the question, and here are the responses we received. More than 120 comments were left on the Facebook post, and a few establishments received multiple recommendations. One of those was The Bell over in Pokesdown, with one of those recommending it saying: "The Bell Pokesdown best boozer bar none". The pub's website describes it as a "thriving" community space, which offers "live music and sport, great drinks and an unbeatable atmosphere". Pubgoers seem to agree with that sentiment, as it has earned a 4.6/5 score on Tripadvisor from 40 reviews. The Bell had a few recommendations from readers (Image: The Bell/Tripadvisor) With a decent-sized beer garden, it's a good spot if you want to enjoy a pint in the sun. The Cliff pub and restaurant over in Canford Cliffs had a couple of comments in support of it. The large outdoor space there, no doubt, plays into that, and it has earned a 4.2/5 score on Tripadvisor from 2,034 reviews. The Cliff had a couple of recommendations from readers (Image: The Cliff/Tripadvisor) A few Christchurch pubs were recommended by some readers, including The Thomas Tripp. One person wrote: "Thomas Tripp Christchurch. Looking forward to the first Bank holiday weekend, sunshine, live music and Plum Porter." Meanwhile, The George was favoured by one reader who shared: "The George Christchurch, burger and a pint for a tenner." Finally, The Railway was highlighted in the town for its "great garden" which made it a "good sun trap".

They shared: "The Commodore at Southbourne or the Neptune bar Boscombe beach." Even with this being quite far away from BCP, the Square & Compass in Worth Matravers also got a fair few mentions.
