Description
Welcome to Cardigan Brewery, a union of Penlon Beers & Innkeeper Wales, creating great Welsh beers that can be enjoyed at home, from a range of great shops across the land, or at the pub, including our very own Teifi Waterside Hotel or Brynhoffnant Inn.
Started brewing in October 2004 initially as Penlon Cottage Brewery. It is a small scale operation which brews are range of bottle conditions beers. It was initially based near Pencae moving to its location in 2015. In 2020 they merged with Innkeeper Wales and changed to the current name although Penlon Cottage Brewery is still used.

26/6/2024. Bottle from Londis near Y Bryn a'r Bragdy, Brynhoffnant. Pours clear bright copper amber with a frothy off-white head. good looking beer. Aroma is citrus, stone fruits, light herb, grass, rubber. Moderate sweetness, medium bitterness, touch tart. Moderate body, slightly oily, average to soft carbonation. Looks was its best point, but this was okay and better than many tried from this brewery.

500ml bottle from Stori, Bala. Pours clear amber, small off-white head. Aroma is lightly smoky, biscuity. Taste sees the smokiness come to the fore, some plastic phenol notes, herbal.. clearly not intentional. Biscuity malt flavours start to emerge, but the smokiness is off-putting with some old leather wallet / leather pub seat / ashtray notes on the finish. Needs a little work.
