Felinfoel Brewery

Located in the village of Felinfoel near Llanelli, Carmarthenshire, Wales, Felinfoel Brewery is a historic brewery established in 1878. It gained fame in 1935 as the first brewery in the UK to produce canned beer, innovating with a wax coating to prevent beer from reacting with metal. This pioneering move not only marked a significant advancement in brewing but also supported the local tinplate industry. The brewery, which played a vital role during World War II by providing lightweight canned beer to soldiers, is now a heritage-listed site and continues to operate under the management of David John's descendants, making it a noteworthy destination for tourists and researchers interested in brewing history and industrial heritage.
