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.

Cask, hand-pulled pint at The Crown Inn, Oakengates on 30th June 2017. Clear golden yellow pour, full white head that hung around for the whole pint. Sadly the beer didn’t excite me at all, citrusy and weak tasting, not my thing at all. I had trouble finnishing my pint, as did my mate: the two ladies even struggled with their half-pints!

Can. Light haze on this gold - amber beer, bubbly pale cream colour head. Palate is light, fairly dry and has reasonable minerally carbonation. Dry malts bring a very modest sweetness. A touch of fresh orangey citrus, plenty of citric pith. Bitterish lemon and floralness underneath. Dry finish, bitter pithy linger. Overall a bit dry, pithy and bitter. No NZ hop action for me either. Disappointing.
