The brewery: "The beer must have been good that day because by the time we went our separate ways our daydream was a real ambition. After some encouraging market research, the die was cast. Twelve of us invested into the business and the Cwrw Llŷn Brewery produced its first batch of beer in 2011."
The beer: A classic hoppy best bitter full of body, brewed using Goldings hops......The name derives from Ynys Enlli – Bardsey Island, at the western tip of Llyn [Brenin Enlli = Bardsey King]. A hundred years ago, there was a 200-strong community of fishermen and crofters on the island. It was customary on many islands, to elect their own ‘king’. The last king was Love Pritchard, who ruled the island from 1911 until 1925 when he led the remaining inhabitants to the mainland."
A nice combination of flavours, though just a tad too hoppy for me - not enough to stop me having another though!
Thanks again to a friend for procuring these for me.
