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 my sister bought at the museum. Bit of a gusher. Mid brown colour clear. No real head but plenty of carbonation. Malty aroma. Malty in the mouth. Yes a premium bitter. Hides abv well. Some peppery hop finish. Very pleasant. Bit bubbly but carbonation settles down. Decent.

Bottle from Wales Ales. Pours a chestnut colour with small off white top. Aroma of roasted malt, chocolate and light coffee. Taste has roast, chocolate, light brown bread, caramel, . Modest roast char bitter finish. Quite light bodied and above average carbonation. Its a decent light stout although might be better on cask.

Handpull cask at the Andrew Buchan, Cathays, Cardiff. Light to mid-ruddy brown, clear with a tight beige head. Almost a sour woody aroma, heavy on the malt with some forest floor and some red berry. Taste is bittersweet bit very heavy on the malt, with a watery and fairly short finish. Competent but ultimately fairly dull bitter.
