We are a husband and wife team, with a shared love of good real ales and the landscape of Southern Snowdonia. We set up Cader Ales in Dolgellau in the summer of 2012 using equipment purchased from an expanding microbrewery on the Llŷn Peninsular. After a one-off trial brew we set about developing and testing what have become our two signature ales, Idris Bitter and Cader Gold which received excellent reviews from local beer drinkers. Red Bandit, a stronger ruby ale, was added to our range for Christmas 2012.
