Gower Brewery launched its first ale on November 11, 2011, and has since been promoted at festivals.
The company began bottling its products in July last year and has so far sold 30,000 bottles.
The company's most popular ale, the 4.5 per cent Gower Gold, counts for 50 per cent of all its product sales.
Gower Brewery is based at the Greyhound Inn in Oldwalls and has also added another trophy to its cabinet this year after scooping the Single Beermat Award at the British Beermat Collectors Society Beermat Of The Year Awards 2012/13.

“Congratulations and thanks for creating a great local pint. I favour Gower Power myself, opting for Gold when I'm forced to make my own way there on a pusbike.
It's nice to see that pubs like the Kings Head and King Arthur often serve them too (I think I've had one in the Dolphin too); it would be good if the others followed suit. I for one would get on a bus around Gower every weekend to visit pubs that serve these great beers; currently I have to hire one annually.
The Greyhound has always been a great pub, arguably the best on Gower. Whilst it has changed in to a more family/tourist friendly pub in the last 10 years (I liked the old 'Dirty Dog', Pete & Jezz) the atmosphere in the Public Bar is still great.”

“Well done to all concerned. Gower Gold is a really good pint - but every now and again swap to Gower Power (5.5%).
Also the Greyhound Inn has a very nice atmosphere that helps the drink go down.
Take a look on their website...
