We used to have 2 breweries in Llanelli.
Felinfoel - still there and going well on outskirts of the town.
Buckleys - larger and town centre but now completely gone.
They used caramel to make " Buckleys Brown" bottled beer.
My uncle used to buy the spent hops from there to feed to his cows.......nice milk!
As kids we used to walk into there to watch them brew and the coopery where barrels were made. Every Wednesday they blocked a road with trestles to run barrels from the transport bay back to the coopery.
Lovely smells in that are too...
Major Buckley, the boss, had a Jenson. My dad did a re spray for him after a lorry windscreen shattered and peppered his car.
Some Buckley family members now run a microbrewery.
