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 Picture House, Stafford. Pours “bitter brown” with a small foamy off-white head and good lacing. There’s malts and caramel in the aroma, plus some hints of floral hops. In the mouth it starts out fairly sweet and smooth, but a tad watery. After awhile this switches to a mix of hops plus caramel and some spices and herbs. Finish is slightly dry and spicy. This is reasonable.

Cask @ Old King's Arms Hotel, Pembroke. Deeper golden with a glow and a creamy head. Has a rich maltiness which feels sugary as it passes the top of the palate, with an underlying fruitiness to its taste too.
