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...!

50cl bottle thanks to Lewis. Pours amber with a slim head. The nose has mainly malty and slightly astringent. The taste has some honey and malt. The palate is close to medium bodied with a fairly rich texture and a finish which isn’t too bad, even if not refreshing. Overall, solid but not great.

50cl bottle thanks to Lewis. Pours amber with some gentle bubbles and a very slim head. The nose has toffee, some slight biscuit notes. The taste has more toffee and the biscuit is more prevalent. The palate is almost medium bodied with a nice crunchy texture and a crisp finish. Overall, a well made bitter.

Crosse Keys, Bank 5 Nov 12. JDW festivaløl. Mørk gyldenbrun. Litt skum. Svak fruktaroma. Vassen smak. Antydning til plommer men svak på det meste.
