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.

Pours a clear light amber colour with a small frothy off white head. Aroma is a sweetish, bready, and dried fruit. A moderately sweet taste, caramel and some fruity flavours. A spicy hop bitterness with more sweetness in the finish.

Bottle, a gift from the in-laws. Feint earthy aroma, with malty roast hints. Light chestnut. Thin creamy white head. Initially a very light sweetness, with underlying bitterness. The latter gains in strength. Malty, even a bit chocolate. Light bodied. Watery, Soda-esque carbonation. Long but low key finish. Hmmm... it’s actually a decent enough pint. Went well with my cheese sarnie. Overall, though, it’s all rather low key.

Handpull cask at the Corner House, Cambridge. Amber and a bit cloudy, with some off-White head. Not a lot to sniff here, but there’s some bready malt and a touch of stone fruit. Taste: malt bomb. Sweet with tangerine notes, with insecticide sour in the finish. A nice bit of natural carbonation in the finish. Mixed bag. Not as bad as I though it’d be, it’s quite pleasant, but there are issues.
