Tudor Brewery

 There was a new stall on the market today, selling beer.

Tudor Brewery is based at Llanhilleth in South Wales.  The brewery was established in 2011, and they've been brewing some prize winning ales since then.

In 2012, the Blorenge Golden Ale won Three Gold Stars at the Great Taste Awards, which is run by the Guild of Fine Foods.

Their Black Mountain Stout was Silver Champion Beer of Wales in 2015, winning the Stout and Porter category, and is suitable for vegans.

Black Rock, their dark ale, was Champion Beer of Wales in 2016, and is also suitable for vegans.

Their other beers, named for a mountain theme, are Skirrid Bitter, Sugarloaf Bitter and (not a mountain) Tudor IPA.

They also brew special beers like Winter Cheer, with cinnamon and spices, Twmbarlwm Honey Ale, and Wild Blackberry Stout.  Other occasional beers are Super Hero, an American Pale Ale; Green Green Grass of Home, a Special IPA; Rum to the Hills, with Jamaican rum and molasses, and Blitz Pomegranate Beer.

They have an online shop at www.tudorbrewery.co.uk

Purely in the interests of research, I bought three bottles to sample - the Black Rock, Sugarloaf and Black Mountain Stout.  I like dark beers, so I thought I'd go for those first, and if I like them I can try the rest of their range whenever they're back on the market.
