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.

Keg @ Mold Alehouse. Pours dark, thin tan head. Curious aroma with some sweet liquorice, cola, roast. Taste similarly presents a complex, intriguing character with burnt rubber, cola, brown sugar, sweet liquorice, salted caramel and roast vying for your attention. Lots going on and though I tried to like it, it's perhaps not for me.
