Description
Notes for members:-
Celt Experience and Fire Island beers should be added under those entries.
The Archers entry is for Archers beers brewed on that site up until 2009. Any beers continued to be brewed under the Archers name appear under Evan Evans brewery with an Archers prefix.
The same applies to J Buckley beers (ceased brewing in 1998), who were taken over initially by Brains, then the brand sold on to Evan Evans.
As locations go, we’re incredibly lucky. Based here in Llandeilo in West Wales, we can open the brewery doors wide and look out over the breathtaking Black Mountains. We’re as passionate about the surroundings we brew in as we are about the brewery itself. Whilst our 250-year history of brewing is at our core, we believe strongly in innovation. Evan Evans is a modern, state-of-the-art brewing plant, capable of producing around 3 million pints every year using the finest raw materials and the attention to detail that makes us who we are.

Cask at the Commercial Rooms (JDW), Bristol 16/10/22. Deep amber colour with next to no head. Sweet, caramel and tangerine aroma. Flavour of jammy fruit with ripe, biscuity, malts leading to a slightly bitter finish. Good.

1/3 pint, cask at Trent Bridge Inn (JDW). Shared with Finn. Clear amber body, filmy layer, spotty lacing. Caramel-fruity aromas, inviting. Balanced taste profile of caramel malts, dark berries, and soft fruity hops. Mid-sweet berry fruits to the end. Medium bodied. Decent. (Nottingham 13.10.2022).

Cask at Playhouse Spoons Colchester. Clear amber beer, good cream colour head. Smooth mouthfeel, but decent fine carbonation coming through on the back end. Soft creamy malts, a touch of bitterish caramel toffee. The English hops bring a spicy but mild bitterness along with mellow marmalade and nice soft and sweetish floralness. Finishes light and leaves a mild bitter linger. Comes together well. Nice balance, nice mouthfeel and very drinkable.

Cask @ Regal Moon, Rochdale. Clear copper-amber with a small creamy head. Easy enough light earthy maltiness with a mild bitter nose, and perhaps even milder bitter taste.

Cask at Lime Kiln, Liverpool. Pours “bitter brown” with a small off-white head and good lacing. The aroma has spices and traditional hops. In the mouth it is slightly fruity with a dynamic balance between traditional and floral hops and some malty notes. Later it becomes more bitter with oranges involved, and the bitterness leading to quite a dry finish. This is decent – but I wouldn’t call it a Belgian style beer !
