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. Deep, reddish brown body, with a small, beige head. The aroma has a good dash of caramel, as well as roasted malt and chocolate. Nice caramel and chocolate flavor as well, but even for a mild, I would like some more hops, as it is very low on bitterness. Medium to thin body, feeling quite dusty in the mouth. The finish is quite dry, with chocolate and roasted malt. A quite nice beer, but a bit unbalanced. (070913)

500ml bottle (as far as I remember). Dark brown/reddish body with a small beige head. The aroma has caramel, roasted malt and coffee (yummy). Flavor is generous malty, chocolate, roasted and dry bitter. Nice rich flavor and body to be this low abv, could be a bit more balanced. A fine and a bit unusually ale anyway.

Cask handpull at Market Porter, Borough. Copper, lasting beige head. Farty yeast aroma. Good toffeeish malt in mouth. In fact it’s a bit choccy too. The hop is extremely moderate on the finish, but that’s fine too.

Bottled. Dark brown. Buttery licorice aroma. Dryish and fairly light bodied. Flavours of dark chocolate and coffee with cream. The light body gives it a slight metallic edge. Finishes with low bitterness.
