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.

Not great, either it’s a bit off or it’s a poor beer. Ample damp carpets, earth and leaves, vague toasted malts, grains. Can’t say it was a pleasure.

Cask at Square Bottle, Chester. Pours golden amber with a small scummy almost white head and excellent lacing. Not much of an aroma, just vague hints of hops and fruit. In the mouth it is quite sweet to start with and slightly watery, but almost some underlying bitterness which gradually increases. Flavours of mats, mixed hops and berry fruits with some spicy hints later on. Some bitterness in the finish. It’s reasonable.
