Gower Brewery

Gower Brewery was set up in 2011 by Paul Chiverton and Chris Mabbett on the Crofty estate at Penclawdd, on the north edge of the peninsula, and has become the Gower's own beer — brewed on the marsh side of Swansea and poured across the area, including at the brewery's own taproom in Mumbles and the Malthouse in the city. It has stayed independent, run by its founding directors, brewing a core range that has made it a fixture of the local bar. In a corner of Wales better known for its beaches, Gower Brewery gives it a beer to match. Buy it at the source, on an industrial estate that smells of hops.
