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!

Cask at Pigs Ear 2015 - London. Pours clear honey-gold with a creamy, white head. Citrus accents in the nose, with some lightly toasted grains, hay, faint butter. Light sweet flavour with decent rindy citrus hops, pale bread. Light bodied with fine carbonation; so so condition. Finishes with more citrus notes, some bitter hay, pale grains. Just OK overall.

Cask at Pigs Ear, 2015. Amber pour with a white head. Aromas of orange peel, tangerine, lot of juicy hop in there. More tangy hop in the flavour, shed loads of sweet fruit in there. Easy going brew. Quite nice.

500ml bottle from St Davids Food & Wine, St David, Pembrokeshire. Pours amber with a slight haze & off white head. Aroma is caramel malt. Taste is caramel with a strong pine influence. Pleasant beer, perhaps a bit malt-forward, but nice nonetheless.
