[3] Wye Valley Brewery is a family business started by former Guinness brewer, Peter Amor, in the summer of 1985.

By 2002 the brewery had outgrown its stable block at The Barrels, so it moved to a 9-acre (3.6 ha) former cider mill in Stoke Lacy.

[7] As a brewing method, Wye Valley Brewery uses water vapour, created during the brewhouse boil, to heat water to then clean its casks; the roof and ground-mounted solar panels cover the equivalent of more than six tennis courts, providing over half of the brewery's total electricity.

Wye Valley Brewery's flagship beer is Butty Bach, translated for the Welsh as "little friend".

A dark British stout with rich coffee notes, intense roasted barley flavours and a dry, bitter finish.
