About
Started brewing in November 2005 using a 5BBL plant using the name The Great Orme Brewery Ltd, Welsh translation Bracdy Y Gogarth, and based at Y Bracdy, Nant-Y-Cywarch Farm, Glan Conwy, Colwyn Bay. At the beginning of 2019, the brewery rebranded and relocated to Mochdre where a 15BBL plant was used. Moved to Llandudno Junction in June 2025.

Panda at home, thanks to Graham Grumbo, 21/07/24. Another gushing panda although not as severe as the last one! Amber pour with an off white head that thins to a swirl. Nose is stewed fruits, biscuit, vinous, herb, hedgerow. Taste comprises tangy fruits, perhaps a slight off note, twiggy, light phenolic yeasty tones. Medium bodied, light prickly carbonation, semi drying close. So so ... perhaps a mild infection with this one?

Bottle. Color: Clear amber, beige head. Aroma: Caramel malt. Tasye: Smooth, caramel malt, floral hoppy background. Notes of lightly roasted toast. Medium body, below average carbonation. Moderate sweet and light to moderate bitterness. Dry-ish bittery finish, getting bone dry and more bitter when standing longer.

Can at home courtesy of a neighbour. After getting drenched in an early morning dog walk, this was enjoyed in the sun late afternoon while trying once again to get into Dune Messiah. I read it many years ago and forgot how much dear old Drank Herbert goes on. A lager with something about it that I thoroughly enjoyed with real flavour and body. All round good.
