Evan-Evans scoops another award!
The award-winning West Wales brewer Evan-Evans has done it again!
Cwrw, the premium ale brewed by Evan-Evans of Llandeilo, has been awarded the Bronze medal at the brewing industry’s ‘Oscars’, the International Awards 2011, held in Burton-on-Trent.
This is the third major award that the Cwrw brand has won in the last 18 months.
Cwrw is now widely accepted as being one of the very best beers in Wales and ranks consistently as one of the top three best bitters in the UK, in cask and bottle.
The International Brewing Awards are the world’s oldest brewing industry prizes.
Evan-Evans chief executive Simon Buckley said: ‘This is an incredible achievement for our brewing team in Llandeilo and puts us not only at the top of the tree in Wales, but also right up there among the very best cask ale brewers in the world.
“The Best Bitter category is the most important category in the cask ale competition and I am extremely proud of my team’s efforts.
“It is a very proud moment for me and a great moment for Welsh brewing.
“This award will undoubtedly help sell Cwrw all around the world, with new trade partners in the US, South America and Continental Europe.”
The company will soon be making further announcements concerning the development of its brewery site and the acquisition of further pubs.
Background notes -
Cwrw is the Welsh name for beer.
Simon Buckley’s family have brewed in Wales since 1767.
Evan-Evans has a reputation for brewing the highest quality cask-conditioned beers.
Evan-Evans is Wales’s largest specialist brewer of cask ale.
The company started brewing in 2004 to produce specialist cask ales for the Welsh and national guest ale market.
A few words about the Buckley brewing tradition . . . The brewing heritage of the Buckley family stretches back to the early 19th century after the Rev James Buckley married the eldest daughter of Henry Child who had founded Childs Brewery in Llanelli. It was set up to slake the thirst of the town’s tinworkers, who were rapidly increasing in numbers.
Simon was the last Buckley to brew at Llanelli before moving to London in 1984. Buckleys Brewery had the distinction of being the only Welsh brewer to hold a royal warrant. In 1991 it became Crown Buckley when it was taken over by a subsidiary of Guinness. It was sold to Brains in 1997 and the Llanelli Brewery closed a year later.
Evan-Evans was founded in Llandeilo in 2003 and began brewing in 2004.
It is named after William Evan-Evans who married into the family four generations ago.
