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.

Bottle from Morrisons. Pours a clear copper colour with a thinnish creamy off-white head. Aromas of red fruits, caramel and bread. Taste is toasty burnt bread, roasted malts, orange marmalade and a touch of chocolate. Burnt bitter finish. Medium to full body with a smooth slightly oily mouthfeel. Quite a complex beer with lots of depth of flavour. Nice.

Wetherspoon Autumn Beer Festival 2018. Cask @ Barum Top Inn, Halifax. Clear copper-gold but more of the former, with a creamy head. It’s floral-malty but extremely light in both instances. Has a nice texture.

Organic and Gluten free Pilsner. Piana spora, niczym krzyz na Giewoncie, slimakowata, metnawe, brunatno-bursztynowe, zbozowe, skorka od chleba zytniego, ziarniste, troche kaszki kus-kus jakby, siemie lniane, fajne, takie lagerowe ale zarazem tresciwe i bogate w witaminki z grupy B. Polecam, o ile bedziecie mieli na tyle cierpliwosci by piana opadla.

[Cask at the Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell.] A chestnut pour with a tight cream head; aroma of nuts and malt; quite thin in the mouth to start, then developing a malty taste with earthy nuts and caramel.

Cask at Lych Gate, Wolverhampton Pours a golden yellow with a small white head and good lacing. A somewhat bland aroma – just some vague hoppiness. Taste is predominantly oranges, with a nice balance between hops and malt. Finish is hoppy with some hints of ginger. A nice drink, but I’m not sure why it calls itself a Christmas Ale ?

[Cask at the Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell.] A pale amber pour with a tight cream head; malty aroma; smooth and creamy in the mouth with a nitro feel, and caramel and malt flavours; then a light bitterness with a biscuity finish. A simple straightforward bitter.

On cask at the Caley Picture House. Appearance - amber with a generous lacy head. Nose - a hint of fruitcake but of the burnt variety. Caramel too. Taste - more caramel and dry cake. Palate - close to medium bodied. Dry through middle and finish. Overall - a bit too dry.
