Grey Trees Brewery
Microbrewery
in Aberdare,
Rhondda Cynon Taff,
Wales 🏴
Associated Venue: National Tap
Established in 2011
The name, Grey Trees, comes from the English translation of the village where the brewery was born, Llwydcoed. After a successful first few years, we moved the brewery to a larger premises, breathing new life into an old industrial unit in Aberaman, Aberdare. Although our location changed, everything involved in making the very best crafted ales stayed the same, even the local fresh Welsh water source.

Two half's, hand pulled at the Wrekin Inn on 15th January 2026. Clean amber body, off white crown on top, Malty front with a decent hop bitterness, earthy and slightly nutty, liked it (hence the second half).
