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.

One-third pint, shared with Finn. Spotty lacing from a filmy layer, deep amber body. Inviting on the nose, caramel-fruity scents. Fine balanced flavours of leafy hops, earth, and semi sweet brown malts. Rounded malt-fruity finish, bittersweet. Medium bodied. Pleasing. (London, 10.02.2025)

Bottle from Wales Ales. Pours a clear amber with nice consistent off-white head with lacing. Aroma and taste of apricot, biscuit like malt, straw, something between floral and grassy; nice freshness. Its got a very good bittersweet balance, fruity with a medium body, reasonably smooth and fine carbonation. Great bitter.

Bottle from Wales Ales. Pours amber with nice off white top. Aroma of earthy malt, caramel biscuit, dried fruits, wood. Taste follows aroma; earthy and leafy but with some dried fruity esters, some nuts and caramel. Nice prickly bitterness. Reasonable crispness helped by a high fine carbonation. Good bitter.
