The Cwrw Llŷn Brewery produced its first batch of beer in 2011. Our first brews were produced in the middle of the Llŷn countryside using restored brewing equipment in an old cow shed. Our maximum output was limited to six firkins per brew, and demand soon outstripped our ability to supply. By January 2012 we had moved to our brand-new purpose-built brewery in Nefyn, a small fishing village on the Llŷn Peninsula, North Wales. One of Britain’s oldest pilgrimage routes, it’s home to soaring mountain views, sandy beaches and hidden coves.

We’re a small independent brewery producing delicious, characterful beers. From rich malty bitters to light golden ales, we take our time over our brews. We’ll think you’ll want to too. Our beers are inspired by the people, places and things we love. Great conversation, wonderful local food, intriguing Welsh legends and the beautiful landscapes that surround us. All our beer is still hand-made in small batches, which means we can ensure its quality and consistency. We produce around 180 firkins per week. Conscious of our carbon footprint, we recycle and reuse as much of our raw materials as we can. Spent brewing grains are used to feed local pigs and our waste hops are also recycled.
