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!

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]

Cask at Tapps Rhos. Opaque brown. Thick foamy white head. Medium bitter. Grainy. Rye, flour. Slight sourness. Underlying malts. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Flat carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. As far as Reds go, overly polite and lacking oomph.
