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...!

Half-pint, cask at The Red Lion Inn (JDW). Close to clear golden body, patchy surface, lacing rings down the glass. Vague herbal hops and pale malts on the nose. Mid-sweet ripe fruity flavours with bread. Average version of the style. (Morriston, Swansea 02.10.2018).

Cask-conditioned at the Patriot Bar, Pontypridd 7/7/2017. Amber in colour, with a decent, off-white, head. Easy drinking bitter, with some hedgerow fruits, earthy malts and a lingering, bitter, finish. Fine.
