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.

On cask at the Haymarket. Appearance - slightly hazy and golden. Nose - lemon and malt with a touch of honey. Taste - more lemon honey and malt. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry finish. Good balance between bitter and sweet. Overall - good beer though the graininess of the malt sticks out a bit.

Cask at the Moon Under Water (JDW), Watford on 25 October. Poured a clear, light golden colour with a rocky white head and good lacing. Aroma is mild citrus hop, gooseberry and candy sugar. Tropical fruit flavours with some orange peal and straw. Finish was caramel, syrupy fruit and chewy malt. Better than I had anticipated; pretty decent golden.
