Crafty Dragon Vaynor Bitter is a session or Quaffing ale. A perfect balance of hops and grains, and a few special ingredients, give Vaynor Bitter its slightly nutty flavour. A great beer for quenching the greatest of thirsts and perfect for those long afternoons and evenings at the pub with friends.

Vaynor translated into English means ‘The Manor’ and is a community within the borders of the Brecon Beacons National Park. The community includes the three villages of Cefn Coed, Trefechan and Pontsticill as well as Pontsarn and Vaynor.

Crafty Dragon Pen y Fan Porter balances the sweetness of orange with a bitter Rye. Chocolate malt is added to give that extra rich taste. This one is a favourite with both the guys and gals.

Pen y Fan is the highest peak in south Wales, situated in the Brecon Beacons National Park. At 886 metres (2,907 ft) above sea-level, it is also the highest British peak south of Cadair Idris in Snowdonia. The mountain is also used by the military as part of the selection process of the UK's Special Forces personnel including selection for the Special Air Service (SAS).

Crafty Dragon Castell Morlais IPA is a strong, hoppy beer that is light in colour but strong in hop flavours and bouquet.

Castell Morlais (Morlais Castle in English) is a 13th-century castle located above the Taff Gorge near the town of Merthyr Tydfil in Wales. Not much remains today of the castle first begun by Gilbert de Clare, 3rd Earl of Gloucester on land claimed by Humphrey de Bohun, 3rd Earl of Hereford. Warfare broke out between the Earls in 1290 and they were severely admonished and fined by King Edward I of England, who had to march down from North Wales to intervene. The castle was captured by Madog ap Llywelyn in 1294.

Crafty Dragon Cwrw Coch IPA is a strong, hoppy beer that is reddish in colour and strong in hop flavours and bouquet. Its red appearance is produced by the Carared grain used in the brewing process.

Cwrw is the Welsh word for beer and Coch the Welsh word for red.
