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.

Bottle from Gwin Llyn Wines, Pwllheli. Dark brown with a thick frothy head. Dark beer with a heavy floralness, with some roasted malt including chocolate notes behind the aforementioned. (The bottle was 10 months out of date - perhaps this wasn't quite in tip-top condition when drank).

Bottle from Gwin Llyn Wines, Pwllheli. Hazy amber with an extremely thin head. For a bitter, this has a decent blast of citrus to give it enough flavour to enjoy, at a very drinkable strength. Mildly hoppy, it has a low bitterness factor.

Bottle shared in Hackney - big thanks to Danboy. Pours deep brown with a creamy, light tan head. The aroma holds burnt brown bread, a little cocoa, soft roast, dried dark berries. Light sweet flavour with subtly tangy dark fruits, nips of plastic, earthy bitterness, vague cocoa. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Finishes with more vague cocoa, earthy hops, toasted leaves. So so.

500ml bottle @ Yr Hen Orsaf, Aberystwyth. Pours black with nice tan head. Aroma is coffee and roasted malts. Taste is good, well-balanced coffee & roasted malts. A real hearty, full-flavoured stout this, loved every sip of it.
