Description
Bragdy Lleu is an award-winning craft brewery in Dyffryn Nantlle. We produce high quality beer with natural ingredients of the highest quality.

Established in 2013, we support the local economy and are passionate about the culture, history and language of Dyffryn Nantlle – the land of the Mabinogi. Every beer we brew is named after characters from the world-famous Welsh folklore legends, with elements of those characters conveyed in the unique character of each beer.

The business is evolving constantly, and by now we supply pubs across North Wales with casks and pubs, shops and restaurants all over Wales and beyond with bottles. In addition, we sell directly from the brewery and attend various events with our mobile bar, as well as supplying beer for events including weddings and celebrations of all kinds.

24/6/2024. Bottle bought at Vinomondo, Conwy. Pours very slightly hazy orange amber with a small frothy off-white head. Aroma is chalky, straw, citrus, grass, malt, caramel. Moderate sweetness, bitterness and body. Light body, quite carbonated. Not bad.

Bottle from Wally's Delicatessen, Cardiff. Clear bronze to light brown in colour with a rapidly vanishing beige head. Good full mouthfeel but with a rather too prickly fizz. Caramel, berries and a little grass, with a slightly mineralogy bitterness in the finish. Good balance between sweet and bitter. Quite enjoyed this.

Bottle. Nose is caramel, rye, red currant, hint of toffee. Taste is caramel, burnt sugar, spice, rye, very light grapefruit in the finish. Good example of a style I tend to skip.

500ml bottle from Purple Moose shop, Betws Y Coed. Pours deep amber, good pale beige head. A proper Welsh red ale this, leafy, malty, nutty, with underlying fruity moments and a robust woody bitterness. Not my preferred beer, but can't deny this is good for style.
