Description
Our Brewery is based in North Wales and located in the Plassey, it is the oldest micro brewery in Wales surrounded by glorious countryside. Richard moved into the brewery in 2017 and started making real ale from our 12-barrel brew plant. We focus on brewing a core range with some seasonal specials. Our ethos is to only brew beer we want to drink as we are a small brewery and we want every brew to count. You can try the range of beer in pubs in England and Wales and of course in our own Taproom in Wrexham. We also sell bottles here online and mini kegs too. I hope you enjoy drinking the ale as much as we enjoy brewing it. Liz Lever – Founder.

Formed following the takeover of New Plassey Brewery. Magic Dragon brewery started brewing in Spring 2017. New Plassey (prev Plassey and Gertie Sweet) is separately listed.

Handpull cask at the Brewery Tap, Wrexham. Mid-brown, fairly translucent, a thin khaki head. Chocolatey aroma, a little bit of coffee, maybe even some light floral notes. The taste is sweet, more chocolate and touches of stone fruit, light bitterness on the finish. Body is thin but not too much so, thin carbonation. Decent.

Clear burnished gold beer, small but tidy pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, mildly dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Smooth malts, a little dry, a touch of natural grain. Hops bring light cooling pine and a decent slightly ripe orange, tangy as well. Light and semi dry finish. Not bad at all.

G in Wales means Geraint Thomas, surely a Sir G in the future? In the present this Dr. G is a clear golden ale and goes down the palate with ease, and has a sessionably crisp keg texture. A hopped pale ale with quite a dry finish, there's light fruit available.

The initials of this beer if it was in Welsh would be CGC. Settles a clear golden colour and has a very sessionable texture and taste. A gently hopped brew with a mild sweetness to proceedings.

A second beer of the day in Wales, first Welsh brewed one, in my second Magic Dragon pub ever visited. It's not so much a house, more like a tower-block of coffee, as it's extremely potent, full in flavour, and lingers long with a dryness.

Bottle gift from my brother – drank at home. Pours a very deep chestnut with a sizable frothy tan head. There’s butter, caramel and fudge in the aroma. In the mouth it is surprisingly sharp at first, but with some underlying sweetness. Flavour starts off with malts and chocolate, but citrus notes come soon after. Later there are hints of oranges, caramel and bitter hops. Bitterness is more pronounced in the finish. This is decent.
