Cwrw Madog/Madog's Ale is a classic session bitter brewed from Welsh mountain water and natural ingredients.
The beer takes its name from William Alexander Madocks, who is noted for building the 'Cob' and Porthmadog Harbour in the 19th century. The town which grew up around the harbour, originally Port Madoc, took its name from Madocks.
