Description
As the name implies, Felinfoel brewery is situated in ‘Felinfoel’, a small village adjoining Llanelli in Wales. Historians tell us that in the old days the inn brewed its own beer, but only during the winter months. The keeping qualities and the strength of the beers, therefore, were of prime importance and the popularity of ‘Felinfoel Beer’ led to the local inn brewing for other inns in the locality. This, in turn, led to the present brewery being built in 1878 to accommodate demand.

They became the first UK brewery to can beer in 1935. Still family owned, this is now Wales's oldest brewery.

Typically robust Welsh ale - compares better with English winter ales than with bitters or pales.

The legend of 2 pint honk up John ... 2 pints of this and his puke remained spattered on the drain cover opposite the Alex, Derby, for a good 5 or 6 weeks.

Early amateur tick, March '91.

Malty, dark fruits, not great condition. Put me off the brewer for a good few years although navigated my half fine ... if not being a great experience!
