Description
Facer's Brewery supplies quality, hand crafted real ales to pubs and other venues across North Wales and North West England.
We are the oldest Brewery in Flintshire

Dave Facer started his own brewery in Salford, Greater Manchester in February 2003, sharing premises and equipment with Bazens' Brewery, which had itself started a few months earlier. In 2005 Dave and wife Annette decided to move home (and hence brewery) to Flintshire. The new Facer's Brewery started production in Flint in February 2006.

Brewing - A life's work !

Dave's first job in a brewery was in 1977 in the Quality Control Lab at Wilson's Brewery in Manchester. He later became a fully fledged Brewer and when Wilson's closed he joined Tetley's Brewery in Leeds followed by stints at Chester's of Salford and Whitbread at Samlesbury before becoming a Brewer at Boddington's in 1991. In 1999 Dave was appointed Head Brewer at Boddington's. He left in February 2003 to start Facer's Brewery.

Cask at Magnet, Stockport. Pours a hazy bitter brown with a small off-white head and good lacing. [ Pumpclip describes it as a β€œruby red ale” – which it definitely isn’t ! ] Aroma is mainly malts. In the mouth it is sweet and juicy. Initially malts dominate, but these give way later to some bitterness and nuts. Finish is dry and slightly bitter. It’d OK, butr a bit boring to be honest.

Cask at Vine, Wednesfield. Pours a dark reddish brown with a small cream head.. Roast malts in the nose with hints of vanilla. In the mouth it has a creamy texture with malts and Olde English Spangles, plus traces og coffee and dark fruits. Finish is dry – with added treacle. Reasonable but not a world beater.
