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...!

Pigs Ear. Light gold beer, very slightly hazy. Light hoppy nose. Zero carbonation. Good hop fruits but the lack of carbonation is a major distraction.

Lovely coffee aroma, same in its aftertaste but with a large hint of vanilla as well. Mild in the palate.

Looks flat but has an excellent fruity taste coupled with a pleasant bitter afterthought.

Malty bitter nose and taste, but a very healthy one in both areas. Looks the part too.

Nice bitter aroma, followed up by a genuine full-bodied bitterness which is very tasty.

Cask at GBBF 2011, Day 3. Pours clear amber with a tight, foam head. Ripe fruits and faint toast in the aroma. Light toffee, mild citrus bitters in the flavor. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Subtle leaves in the finish, good and light brown sugar. Nice beer.
