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.

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.
