Description
Bluestone Brewing is an exciting, eco-friendly family run brewery situated in the foothills of the Preseli Hills in North Pembrokeshire. We produce hand crafted real ales, using local water filtered down through the Bluestone Hills to produce a range of flavoursome Rock Solid Ales. Our ten barrel brewery lives in the front yard of Tyriet Farm, which is still a working farm to this day.

The name Bluestone Brewing Company comes from the local stone that the buildings were built from many years ago. Bluestone is also pretty famous for being mysteriously transported over 250 miles to become Stonehenge over 5000 years ago!

Old notes from Nov 2014 - A gift from a Welsh workmate. Pours a straw coloured blonde ale with a small white head. Aromas of vanilla created according to the bottle by Czech & German hops. A drinkable enough pint but without anything special.

Handpull cask at the Kings Head, Leicester. Light brown, with a tiny haze and a small but tight beige head. Light woody aroma, some summer berries. Tastes sweet at first, perhaps a little too sweet. There's a little bit of bitterness later in the sip and a slightly astringent finish. Watery body with soft carbonation. A reasonable bitter.

Hand pulled half pint on 21st January 2025, lunchtime. Kings Head, Leicester. Clean amber body, thin off white head. Malty front to both the aroma and taste, some light citrus notes creeping in, subtle bitterness towards the finish.

Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers! Aroma of tropical fruits, grains, malt, granola, nutty and citrus. Fruit and malt finish that is a bit watery and thin. Limited carbonation. Decent.

Can from Wales Ales. New brewery for me. Pours a 3/4 hazy gold with small white head. Aroma has a sharp citrus and tropical fruit - passionfruit and pineapple come to mind, a light dankness also. Taste follows the same path with a slight caramel noted malt. Its sweet, tangy and rich with a long bitter note in the finish. Slightly off balance for me but I like a haze-ey so finished it very easily! [#3639 rate / #29 Welsh brewery]
