Wild Horse focuses on brewing beers with balance, drinkability and flavour

A local brew There’s nothing better than a nice cold beer – except a locally brewed one…

Whether you are a North Wales local or are simply visiting the area, there is no better way to finish a

day exploring than with a refreshing local beer and, luckily, we have some great local breweries to choose from.

Tucked away in a small industrial estate off Builder Street in Llandudno you’ll find Wild Horse Brewing Co.

Formed in 2015, they are a team of ten hard working

and passionate individuals brewing, packaging and delivering delicious craft beer across North Wales and beyond.

What sets them apart from mass market beer is the time, care and attention that has been put into producing the best beer possible. Wild Horse focuses on brewing beers with

balance, drinkability and flavour; beers you can enjoy again

and again. The team are so incredibly proud of being a Welsh brewery, having taken so much inspiration for their beers and branding from our local surroundings – all of their can labels have a story.

For example, the artwork for Nokota, Wild Horse’s bestselling session IPA is inspired by the lush, greenness of the area and is titled Coedwig Gwydyr (Gwydyr Forest). Meanwhile Statement of Youth’s label is inspired by an iconic seawall

climbing route on the Great Orme, and Fatlamp’s artwork comes from the method of lighting that was used in the Bronze Age copper mines on Llandudno’s famous Orme!

Further inland and Magic Dragon brewery produce six different bottled beers from their husband and wife run micro-brewery near Wrexham. They combine traditional methods with modern ingredients for a distinctive and great tasting beer. The brewery has created a Welsh beer gift box which includes a bottle each of their range of beers.

This year, Eyton Gold, their golden ale, won two stars in this year’s Great Taste awards – the beer was described as “well balanced, well presented and an elegant golden ale. The honey notes are equaled by the finesse of grassy floral flavours”. Old

Magic, a dark mild and Border Bitter both won a star each too.

Magic Dragon’s bottled beers can be purchased in local farm shops and from their website. The brewery also supplies pubs and bars with craft beer and cask ale, and they have their own small bottle shop at brewery which is based at The Plassey Holiday Park. n
