Wye Valley Brewery Ltd

‘Butty Bach’ is Welsh term meaning ‘little friend’. This full-bodied, smooth and satisfying premium ale is burnished gold in colour, and certainly has made a few friends in its time

Tasting Notes: We brew it using Maris Otter and Crystal malts, flaked barley, malted wheat, and locally grown Fuggles, Goldings and Bramling Cross hops. With such fine ingredients, no wonder it remains a firm favourite among our followers.

The brewers know what makes a superb, strong bottle-conditioned beer, so insisted they use the best Maris Otter pale malt and local Fuggles and Bramling Cross hops for this full-bodied ruby ale.

Tasting Notes: With rich malt flavours, and notes of molasses and raisins, it’s a fantastic match for flavoursome cheese.

Two of Herefordshire’s finest hop varieties, Goldings and Fuggles, were selected alongside Maris Otter pale malt for this Golden Ale and it truly is a winning combination.

Tasting Notes: This Golden Ale is a crisp and zesty beer that tastes great on its own or enjoyed with chicken dishes, salads and pasta.

HPA is an easy-going real ale that brings people together. Our brewers have let locally grown Target and Celeia hops hang out with Maris Otter pale malt to give this understated brew its pale straw colour, citrus hop aroma and a balanced bitter finish.

Tasting Notes: HPA is a truly delightful pale ale. It’s smooth on the palate, and boasts a citrus hop aroma leading to a balanced bitter finish. Locally grown Target and Celeia hops play an important part in making this such a distinctive beer. With Maris Otter pale malt and malted wheat also being used, this is very much a pale ale with all the right ingredients.
