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.

500ml Bottle - Dark brown with red tinges. Chocolate, liquorice, raisins and faint hints of berries in the aroma. Cocoa powder, liquorice, raisins and blackcurrant can be detected in the fairly smooth taste. A nice mild.

[Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading.] A straw coloured pour with a thin white head; crisp grainy aroma; grainy taste, slightly soapy; and a crisp finish with a touch of pepper. A pleasant summer pint.

Hand-pulled pint in Montgomery Towers, Shrewsbury on 22nd May 2022. Clean golden body, white crown. Found this all a bit bland to be honest, wish I'd ordered a half.

Cask at Butlers Bell, Stafford. Pours a hazy mid brown with small off-white head and good lacing. There are malts and nuts in the aroma here. Malts to the fore again in the mouth plus treacle all with some underlying tangerine and caramel. But there is a rough metallic sharpness which detracts from the flavour. Finish is smoky and bitter. Really not very keen on this one.
