Description
Started brewing in January 2005 initially based at Unit A2 Valley Enterprise Centre, Pant Industrial Estate, Dowlais, Merthyr Tydfil. Moved to their current location in early 2012. Their 50hl plant is capable of producing both cask and keg beers.

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-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.

3rd Feb 2016: 500ml bottle from a local Lydl store. Poured into a UK pint sleeve at home. Looked good, deep off-white foaming head on a clear bright and light amber coloured body. Malts lead the way in both the aroma and semi-sweet taste, pleasant bitter finish and aftertaste. Nice, easy drinking Bitter, nothing spectacular flavour wise but a very good beer all round.

50cl bottle from Lidl. Pale chestnut with a billowing white head; malty aroma with a trace of red fruit; lively in the mouth, sweet and malty with a short grassy bitterness; and a biscuity finish. A basic bitter.

Clear brown colour. Not much of an aroma. Mild malty flavour. Seems to lack some depth.
