About
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.

8/10/2025. Cask at wetherspoon beer festival, at Cricketers, Ipswich. Nice pour. Quite a subtle aroma, milky chocolate, cocoa, toffee, nutty edge. Moderate sweetness, mild roasted bitterness. Quite light bodied, smooth, soft carbonation. Likeable, easy drinker, enjoyed it but did lack some body.

Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW) in decent condition. Chestnut brown with a beige to tan head. Nutty nougat with a little coffee and touch of cream Snickers-esque with a hint of Milky Way. Light bodied but very enjoyable nevertheless.

[Cask at the Hope Tap(JDW), Reading.] A chestnut brown pour with a thin beige head and attractive lacing; nutty malt aroma; rather thin in the mouth with a fudgy taste; then a dry earthy finish.
