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 CBC, Covent Garden on 8th July 2023. Clear amber with shallow white foam and plenty of lacing. Malty aroma. Zesty peel and maltiness in-mouth, with a finish dominated by both. Light body and a zingy mouthfeel.
Cask at Bank of Conwy, Conwy. Aroma is low key. Slightly boozy fruit. Clear dark gold. Foamy white head. Light-medium bitter. Slightly resinous/quinine. Underlying malts and grains. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. Bitter but ultimately unexciting.
Bottle. Just unclear amber with a white cap. Aroma of light biscuit and citrus. On the dry side with kumquat, oranges and pepper at the modestly bitter end. Refreshing.
Saturday 13th April 2024, Bertie, Margie and I in Tamworth on a pub crawl. Hand-pulled half-pint in the Sir Robert Peel. Golden body, white crown. Citrus leaning brew with grapefruit being the biggest player.
Cask at Salopian Bar, Shrewsbury. Pours a strongly dark reddish-brown with a small cream head. There’s roast malts in the aroma, alongside bread rolls and a hint of coffee. In the mouth it is sweet and creamy but with a little underlying bitterness. Flavour has cola, liquorice and malts plus traces of chocolate and ginger, leading to a slightly spicy finish. This is well balanced and rather nice.
Cask @ Salopian, the pub. Clear bright gold with a good pure white head. Aroma is floral, grassy. Pleasant cask pale overall, malt-forward with a gentle floral sweetness coming through.

Cask @ The Pheasant, Wellington. Clear deep gold with a good white collar. Fruity citrus nose. Nicely hoppy flavour profile with a good citrussy air, hop resin, tropical suggestions.. decent
