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 (Gatekeeper JDW, Cardiff) - Amber/copper coloured. Fruity and lightly hoppy aroma. Fruity yet hoppy taste with raisins,grapefruit and a hint of chocolate. Not bad at all.

(Cask at GBBF, 6 Aug 2008) Dark brown colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with notes of coffee, chocolate and liquorice. Roasted, malty taste with coffee, cocoa, dark bread and raisins. Medium bitterness in the finish. Rather thin body, but lots of flavours. An excellent mild.

Cask, Great Western, Cardiff. Dark reddish brown colour with next to no head. Sweet and malty with some fruit and a dryish finish. Drinkable, but reeks of mediocrity.

Cask@GBBF2008. Amber colour, small beige head, some lace. Aroma is hops, yeast and quite much earthyness. Flavour is the same along with slight metallicness and licorice. Finish is very wooden.
