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 Baxter's Court (JDW), Hackney before going on to see the superb Skating Polly at Oslo. Amber with an off-white head. Orangey caramel with a touch of twig. Sweet malts with mild bitterness. It's hardly what the name makes you think of (it's a big standard bitter), but it's fine. Easy drinking.

Cask at Shrewsbury Hotel. Pours “bitter brown” with a medium sized foamy cream head and good lacing. The aroma is mainly malts, but with some hoppy notes. In the mouth it is bitter with traditional hops to the fore. Bitterness increases to become dominant, but some autumn fruits also come through. Finish is slightly dry. This is reasonable, but a bit one dimensional.
