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...!

Cask-condtioned at the Clytha Arms, Monmouthshire May 2009. Dark brown with a hint of red and dcent, off-white head. Sweet, appealing aroma of caramel, dark fruits and liquorice. Flavour was also on the sweet side, with chocolate, some roasted malts and a lingering, fruity finish. Extremely drinkable.
