Cadwalader Jones is our special for the month of August and is now available. It is a 4.1% ABV light amber coloured best bitter with a lemon aroma and a zesty bitter finish.

Cadwalader Jones was a two-masted schooner built in Borth-y-Gest in 1878, and was the forerunner to the famous 'Western Ocean Yachts'. Working for many years out of Porthmadog, mainly in the slate trade, she was sold on in 1916 and came to a sad end in 1933 when she foundered off the Scily Isles.

PURPLE MOOSE BEERS RECEIVE TWO TOP ACCOLADES

Purple Moose Brewery has picked up two more fantastic awards in the space of two weeks. Bottled Dark Side of the Moose was recently awarded a Silver Medal at this year's International Beer Challenge, standing up well against bottled beer from all over the world.

Just yesterday Cwrw Eryri / Snowdonia Ale picked up joint Bronze in the 'Bitters' category at the CAMRA Champion Beer of Britain Competition, judged during the Great British Beer Festival at Earls Court in London.

With this latest great award for Snowdonia Ale, three of our four standard brands have now picked up national CAMRA awards in the five years in which we have been brewing.

All at the brewery are naturally delighted with the further success of our beers.

Evelyn is our special beer for July. At 3.6% ABV this is a deep copper coloured bitter with a full malty body and a slightly dry bitter finish. Evelyn will be available from Monday 12th July.

Evelyn was a brig built in Porthmadog in 1877. She served for many years taking slate from North Wales and picking up phosphates, sugar and cod from around the world. The Evelyn was sadly lost in 1913 after being caught in bad weather for the best part of a month.
