Distinctive Craft Ales From The Heart Of The Welsh Valleys
FAMILY B U
SI N ESS VALUES
Tudor Brewery is family owned and managed, it is a traditional brewery that focuses on crafting superb quality beers, ales and stouts. Our award-winning, crafted products have claimed top marks in a multitude of competitions! We are always listening and looking to improving and will always concentrate on delivering a quality product to the public. Tudor’s humble beginnings have allowed the family brewery to focus on developing a signature taste across all our products that is identifiable and unique. Stephen Devine founded Tudor Brewery back in 2011 with the vision of creating a business that looked back at the traditional methods of brewing. His passion and dedication to the brand was so strong that he worked right up to two weeks before he sadly lost his fight with cancer. In his honour and out of love and respect for his memory, his wife and children agreed to continue his dreams and grow the business whilst remaining ethical and honest.
Our Blorenge Golden Ale achieved the highest accolade of Three Gold Stars at the Great Taste Awards, run by the Guild of Fine Foods, and regarded as the Oscars of the Food and Drink Industry.
ONAL PROCESSES TRADITI Tudor Brewery is a traditional, artisan brewery producing craft ales, beers and stouts following the model of a cottage industry. Our entire production process is crafted by hand, starting with weighing out the grain to produce the mash. After boiling and simmering the mix, the mash is sparged by hand. The mash is removed and is given to a local farm to be used as animal feed - so nothing goes to waste. The hops are added and our expert brewers keep a close eye on the temperature to ensure a consistent taste to each brew. Each step of our process has been carefully developed over the years to give each product that unique Tudor taste. After fermentation the beer is bottled, capped and labelled by hand and stored for it to naturally settle before distribution. This commitment and hard work have resulted in Tudor Brewery winning a multitude of awards, including Microbrewery of the year.
THE M O
UN TAIN RANGE
TUDOR BREWERY originated in the beautiful market town of Abergavenny which is surrounded by the rolling hills and mountains of south east Wales - so when we moved our operation to the valleys of Gwent it seemed an obvious choice to name our core range of beers after the iconic and familiar hills around us. < SKIRRID WELSH BITTER
The Skirrid is a distinctive peak overlooking Abergavenny and this typical Welsh Bitter is every bit as distinctive. Skirrid is a full of flavour dark beer, ideal for real ale aficionados and lovers of strong flavoursome beer.The blend of ingredients leads to a hoppy tasting brew that sits well when paired with fish dishes or a beautifully matured real Welsh cheese. 4.2% alc/vol

TWMBARLWM HONEY ALE
A few miles from the brewery is a mystical mountain called Twmbarlwm. Some say an ancient warrior is buried there and legend has it that it is protected by a swarm of bees that will punish anyone who tries to disturb the ancient tumulus. Inspired by this myth we have used honey, gathered from the mountain’s environs, to add a subtle, sweet note to the melody created by the blend of malts and hops in this wonderfully mellow, ruby, bitter ale. 4.8% alc/vol
