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.

500ml bottle: BBE Dec 2016. Poured into a UK pint sleeve on 17th June 2016 during a ’Random Rating Evening’ held with myself. Light golden pour, bright, clean and clear: white topping with carbonation bubbles rising through the body popping throughout the tasting. Light malty front to the nose and taste, some citrusy hop action in the flavours to balance out the malts semi-sweetness. Decent enough without testing my senses too greatly.

Bottle from Tesco, Manchester. Amber coloured with a thin head. Has a tropical fruity nose, but maltier in taste with a lot of grain and raw earthy ingredients here.

Bottle from Cheers in Mumbles. Appearance - amber with a decent thin head. Nose - another sack of malt. Wee bit of red fruit. Taste - fruit biscuits and basically more malt. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a fairly good finished. Overall - slightly better than the others, but that’s the best I can go with this one.
