Mad Dog Brewing Co.
Microbrewery
in Cardiff,
Cardiff,
Wales 🏴
Associated with 3 Venues
Established in 2014
In February 2022 we moved the brewery from our small unit in Penperlleni in to a larger, more dynamic space in the heart of Cardiff city centre. The move enables us to brew in larger quantities, and with the aid of some brand new equipment, hone in on our brewing processes to drive the quality of our beers forward!
In the same month, we opened our flagship taproom at the same venue as the brewery, meaning that we now have the perfect spot to deliver our beers at their freshest and tastiest!we are brewing on a modest 6bbl kit with 6 fermentation vessels. With Alexis leading the brew exploration, the team remains small and close knit each pitching in to help the other.
Mad Dog Brewery strives to produce an eclectic range of top quality, exciting beers from sour pales to hefty imperial stouts and everything in between. Utilising our fantastic Welsh water and the very best ingredients, we are able to
produce beers of outstanding quality to satisfy even the most adventurous and inquisitive beer aficionado.

Old rating - A 500ml bottle picked up somewhere on my South Wales trip last year. Past it's best even though the BBD is a month away, although it improves as it settles. Pours a light brown colour with a tiny off white head. Aromas & tastes of caramel, citrus, nut, chocolate & sweet malt. Medium body. Dry sweet caramel finish. Passable in the end.

Draught keg at the Brighton brewery taproom. Brownish hold and clear with a ring of off-white head and good lacing. Orange and a bit of peach in the aroma, some strong tea. Sweet, sweet taste with that jammy note, some floral character, with a decent bitterness in the finish. Maybe not a masterpiece but pretty damn good.

Аромат на удивление солодовый в основе, но также есть нотки от хмеля, немного фруктов, специй. Цвет стандартно желтый, пена просто убер большая, мыльная, и не падает долго. Вкус просто поражает своей горечью, как будто 70 не меньше. Есть тонки от фруктов, но при глотке все убивается в лесных нотах и собственно горечью. Больше особо ничего сказать не могу, не мое хоть и не плохое.

Can from Wales Ales. Cloudy amber brown with a lively off white foam to start but settles to a nice covering. Aroma of dusty malt, biscuit, blackcurrant, nuts. Taste is somewhat earthy with blackcurrant, light yeast, malt, citrus. Body is a bit on the light side, lively carbonation, semi drying, nice bitterness in the finish. Mixed.
