Winner of TWO Silver medals at the 2007 CAMRA Champion Beer of Wales - Golden Ales and Bottled Beers
The Champion Beer of Wales, 2004/5 by a blind tasting panel at the Great Welsh Beer and Cider Festival.
A deep, golden coloured beer created using three types of Optic malt and only Progress hops, all grown within the UK. This single varietal ale has all the characteristics of this 'soft' hop: floral notes and a gentle but pervasive bitterness, making it a very drinkable and thirst quenching beer.
|
An unusually red coloured beer, blending the red ale traditions of the North East and Ireland with a hint of Welsh flair. Vast quantities of Crystal malt are blended into a complex grist; and a selection of unusual hops, including Pioneer and 93/50, provide the bite to compliment the biscuity malt charactersitics of this exceptionally smooth and easy drinking beer
|
Dark amber, malty and well hopped with a beautifully balanced aftertaste; a traditional Old Ale. High percentages of Crystal and Black Malt create the malt/biscuit undertones; bitterness and aroma are provided by Goldings and First Gold amongst others.

Beer of the Festival, Carmarthen, 2007
A very pale, straw-coloured aromatic Best Bitter, brewed with Northdown, Challenger and Bramling Cross hops. The spicy and aromatic nose give due notice that this is a well hopped beer, and the initial flavours on the tongue don’t disappoint – the intense hop flavours combine beautifully on the background of the sweet malt, and create a splendidly refreshing beer, which just has to be tried again – just to make sure!

Originally commissioned by members of Brecon's Infantry Battle School, this is a bronze coloured Best Bitter, with a powerful flavour - strong malty notes are succeeded by a refreshing hoppy bite.
The Fan Dance is one of the British Army's toughest physical tests, involved a time run, in full battle dress, over some of the highest peaks in the Brecon Beacons - after such a test, you're sure to need (and deserve!) a pint!
Limited edition for the FOC Fan Dance, 2008!
