Directory of Welsh Breweries pt 1

 I looked at the (now removed) sidebar on my blog which had a few dozen Welsh breweries listed, with links, and noted it was pretty out of date, a few no longer existed, or changed names since I last updated it.

The current number of breweries in Wales is always increasing, so I thought I'd try to give an up to date list as far as I could find.

There were quite a few new to me, a fair few micro-breweries in pubs, but I'm sure I've not listed every one. I've listed almost 70 but I'm sure I heard recently there was approx 80 in total.

I searched a few sites on line including quaffale, beermad, then crosschecked with other blogs, and used the beer list for the GWBCF for 2014 as it was for the first time an all Wales list.
There are a few breweries I have not included, as I've not been able to verify if they are still in production, some seem to have no contact details (web, facebook, twitter). An unscientific method but useful one was to see if anyone is checking their beers in on Untappd or Ratebeer.

The links I give with the breweries were ones I found, mostly web, some facebook and twitter.
If any details are incorrect or missing please leave a comment below and I'll edit accordingly. If you want me to add a brewery,  please provide details, and if you'd prefer for example your twitter account rather then the website I link to, again let me know.
I'm going to try to add in additional links anyway but yours will get updated quicker if you help!!
I am also going to add another page on the site with all the details on it.
