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.

Cask at the William Morris (JDW), Hammersmith. Brilliant gold with a creamy white head and good lacing - an excellent looking pint, but everything went downhill from there; caramel malt aroma; creamy, smooth and sweet, with some bitterness but rather more caramel sweetness. Sickly.

Cask. Half pint at The Prince of Wales in Cardiff just before we headed off to Ninian Park for the Match between Cardiff and Barnsley (2-0). Golden body under a filmy layer, leaving great lacing on the glass. Vague smell of bitter citrus. Light malty flavour offset by hops. Short lived aftertaste (02.02.2007).

Cask at The Penderel Oak, JDW, Holborn London. This beer poured a light orange colour and had a very hoppy nose, taste was also quite hoppy and a little fruity with citric notes a little bit sweet as well, but very refreshing and crisp. This was very enjoyable I have to confess, and from a brewery I’ve never encountered before. Cask at The Plantation Arms, Oxford, 06-09-08 Pours mid golden although the light in this pub made determining the colour quite tricky. There was a white head, light fruity beer, quite refreshing and citrussy.
