Description
Matt and Gabby are a husband and wife team running The Otley Arms Trefforest with their very own Microbrewery in the cellar.

Matthew Otley does the brewing but his assistant Gabrielle Otley is never far away. Matt learned and honed his craft at Otley Brewing Co over many years and became a multi award winning brewer and is well known and liked in the industry.

Matt left Otley Brewing Co to run The Otley Arms alongside his wife Gabby in 2015 where they became the 3rd generation of The Otley Family to run the families first and namesake pub…. but something was missing….. and so Mabby Brewing Co was born in 2018.

24th July 2019; Shrewsbury CAMRA Beer Festival in St Mary's Church. Cask, large sample. Thin white head on a golden body, more malts than hops in the nose and taste, a little toffee, a little lemon juice. OK rather than interesting.
