Description

Our award-winning beers aren’t called 'The Great Ales of Wales' for nothing. Brewed with passion and pleasure in South Wales, our prized portfolio truly has something to satisfy every beer connoisseur’s taste buds.

We are a family-run business with brewing in our blood, and this sense of pride can be tasted in every delicious drop crafted on site at our brewery in Swansea.

The present incarnation of Tomos Watkin was started in 1995 by Simon Buckley. In 2002 the Tomos Watkin brewery was acquired by Hurns Beer Company, a drinks distributor based in South Wales. Tomos Watkin first operated from a small brewery in Llandeilo, Carmarthenshire and later opened a larger brewery in Swansea.

In August 2023, the Tomos Watkin brewery was purchased by no/low alcohol brewery Drop Bear, who also took over brewing responsibilities for all Tomos Watkin beers. As well as updating the Tomos Watkin brand with several new beers added to their core range, all their beers were made vegan-friendly.

Gravicask, shared with Finn at the 24th Carmarthen Beer Festival. Clear golden-brown body under a patchy surface, dotted spots on the glass. Apricot smell. Dried fruity taste profile with a mid-sweet malty touch. Ends rather sweet. Accepted, not more. (04.10.2018).

Full pint, cask ale at David Protheroe (JDW). Shared with Finn. Clear amber coloured body. Filmy, bubbly layer. Spotty lacing. Mid-sweet smell of almond and dry hops. Decent taste profile of oily hops and almond. Bitter support towards the ending. Pretty alright. (Neath, 02.10.2010).
