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 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 !

(Cask at Penderel's Oak JDW, Holborn, London, 24 May 2022) Pale golden colour with creamy, white head. Malty nose with peaches, bread, toast and hints of boiled vegetables. Fruity, malty taste with notes of bread, peaches, toast and a balanced dusty bitterness in the finish. Mewdium body, quite dry. Refreshing. Quite nice.

Bit more going on than a lot of golden ales. Good malt body and aroma and real easy to drink. Had it on tap in Wales, nice refreshing ale on a hot summers evening.

Bottle from Systembolaget. Feels harsh to give this less than a 3 because it was enjoyable, it just wasn't very interesting. Nonetheless, could have easily drank a few pints of this.

Cask @ Royal Pavillion, Ramsgate. Hoppy, slightly understated pale ale texture and taste, but it is evident. Has a head. First ever purchase through the Spoons app - just a bit of personal history.
