Description
We are Grey Trees, we are an independent brewery based in South Wales, UK. We produce a range of award winning beers and offer both a retail and wholesale trade service. We supply directly to our customers as well as to pubs, bars, and restaurants across the UK.

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.

Cask at GBBF 2015. It pours clear gold with a small white head. The nose is sweet, oily citrus, musty, jute, earth and spice. The taste is bitter-sweet, oily, resinous, honeycomb, cereal, citrus peel, spice, toasty grass and bread with dry, spicy finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Could be a bit cleaner….’tis a little bit muddled. So-so.

Cask at GBBF 2015, day 1 - London. Pours clear gold with a frothy white head. The nose holds mellow ripe citrus, some pale bread. Light to medium sweet flavor with pleasant juicy tangerine, light pine, more pale bready malts. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation; good condition. Nicely balanced on the finish, a little resinous, with hints of pine. Nice.

Cask: hand-pulled pint in The Pheasant Inn, Wellington Shropshire on 19th Jan 15. Mahogany body with a white, lasting head. All about the malts, toffee and caramel notes in both the nose and taste with a spiciness that counters the malty sweetness. Mild sourness in the finish. Nice blend actually, good wintery feel to the brew.
