Description
Started brewing, using a 5½BBL plant, in late November 2003 based at Morfa Conwy Business Park in Conwy. In March 2007 the brewery moved to Morfa Conwy Enterprise Park, Parc Caer Selon, while updating to a 12BBL plant, the original plant being sold on to Leek Brewery. Moved to the current location in January 2013.
At Conwy Brewery we are committed to produce natural, flavourful beers that minimise our impact on the environment. Solar generation system on the roof of brewery which reduces electricity consumption by approximately 30%. Spent Grain is re-used as cattle feed. Waste Beer, Yeast & Hops & Wort is re-used in Anaerobic Digestion to generate Energy. We use very little water in making our beer with 3 Litres of Water used to produce 1 Litre of beer, this is well below the industry standard of 5:1. Our beers are Cask & Bottle Conditioned. This means very little cooling is required (cooling uses LOTS of energy). No expensive chemicals & no Filtration (Filtration can produce as much as 20% waste beer, Not Good!) By doing this we get better tasting beer as well as helping the environment.

Cask at the Last Post, Southend on 10th December 2025. Clear coppery amber with shallow off-white foam and spot lacing. Malty aroma. Leafy hops and zesty peels in-mouth, and a satisfying bitter finish. Smooth mouthfeel and a medium body.

[Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading.] A golden amber pour with a tight off-white head; fruity malt aroma; smooth with a sugary fruity malt taste and a creamy texture; then a strong hoppy bitterness leading to a dry finish with. Solid and satisfying.

Cask at the Crosse Keys (JDW), London. Murky amber with an off-white head. Citrus dominates here - sharp lemon, with marmalade following and a little brown bread in the background. Middling bitterness to finish. It's just about ok; it grew on me and went surprisingly and unexpectedly well with my hunters chicken.
