Rhymney Brewery
Microbrewery
in Blaenavon,
Torfaen,
Wales 🏴
Associated Venue: Andrew Buchan
Established in 2005
Rhymney Brewery, has taken up the most famous name in Welsh brewing to emphasise the fact that they are bringing back the old traditional flavours using modern methods and organic natural ingredients. All over Britain our beer has lost its local flavour. There are sadly few small independent breweries remaining in South Wales. Admittedly the Rhymney name disappeared when the Brewery was taken over by Whitbread. Till now...!

Bottle from Bacchus, Crickhowell. Dark, ruddy brown in colour with a short lived, off-white head and slight carbonation. Aroma of roasted malts and dark chocolate. Easy drinking, with more chocolate, a touch of fruity sweetness and an ashy, dry finish. Excellent.
