Description
Cwrw Iâl Community Brewing Company is more than just a community project! Is has set out to e a force to be reckoned with. It does not produce run of the mill real ale, it produces the highest quality beer with tasty ingredients. It believes in delivering the whole package, going the extra mile, not to be a slave to the accountant and to work in collaboration with other local business, artists and social enterprises.

Well folks, it is the end of an era. With our lease due early next year and the rising cost of production we have been pondering our future. As luck would have it someone has come along and offered to buy us out. We have decided to take up their offer so over the next few weeks the brewery kit will be moving to West Wales.

440ml can from Everyman's Wines, Shrewsbury. Pours a deep dark colour with a ruby hint. Off-white froth atop. Aroma of nutty, toasty, dark berries. Taste continues in much the same fashion, light but pleasant dark berry shades with some woody malt notes, lovely winter mild overall from a great community brewery.

Cask at the Crown & Kettle, Manchester. Dark clear amber with a creamy-frothy head. It's a smoother textured red ale with malts providing a light sweetened growing bitterness that's never too stated, but interesting within its style.

Cask @ Pie & Ale, Manchester. Hazy amber-pink with a creamy head. It's sweet and smooth with hoppy-sguars and a near bubble-gum styling, but not quite.

Spandert av jjsint. Delt med ham og Rune. Mørk amber. God mandelaroma. Smaken rosiner. Tørr fruktig ettersmak. Bra - men vel søt.

Handpull cask at the King's Head, Leicester with Rune and Finn. Reddish brown with a paper-thin off-white head. Medicinal woody aroma some white pepper, vegetal notes, and forest floor. Lovely taste with bourbon spiciness, gummi bear, oak. Sweet, spicy and slightly sour. Long complex finish with caramel and berry in the aftertaste. An interesting beer.

Cask @ Fox & Goose, Hebden Bridge. Golden with a small head and a dry tasting hop and a berry-sweet nose. It's similar but slightly dirtier in taste and has a light bitter finish.
