Madog's Ale
Malty, nutty and hoppy on the nose, then sweet and fruity with a bitter finish: Madog's Ale is a classic session bitter in copper-bronze, light at 3.7 %. It is named after William Alexander Madocks, who built the Cob and Porthmadog Harbour in the 19th century. The town that grew up around that harbour, first called Port Madoc, took his name. Brewed with Welsh mountain water.
