At Lounge, we are committed to supporting and celebrating the local communities in which we operate. We regularly collaborate with local charities, organisations, and community groups to host events, provide meeting spaces, and much more across our sites.
We are now taking this commitment a step further by partnering with Welsh suppliers to introduce a carefully selected range of drinks, which will be trialled in a number of our Welsh locations. We’ve found it’s very important for guests to have a good selection of Welsh food and drinks in site, with some discouraged from visiting if there is no Welsh offering.
From established favourites such as Tiny Rebel Brewery and a gin brand founded by Wales’ own Katherine Jenkins, to innovative low-alcohol beers and 100% vegan rum, there is something for everyone to enjoy — Iechyd Da!
We are proud to be launching nine new products across our sites. Read on to discover more about each of them.
Tiny Rebel
Tiny Rebel Brewery has become one of the most recognisable names in the UK craft beer scene, celebrated for its bold, creative approach and vibrant flavours. We are proud to be serving their iconic Clwb Tropica IPA on tap, one of the nation’s favourite tropical IPAs, bursting with notes of peach, passion fruit, pineapple and mango.
Barti Rum Ltd
Based in Pembrokeshire, Barti Rum blends hand-picked laver seaweed with spices and Caribbean rum to create unique, high-quality spirits. Now available in our Welsh Lounges are two of their exceptional products:
Barti Spiced Rum — a smooth blend of vanilla, clove, cinnamon and orange, enriched with wild laver seaweed.
Barti Cream Liqueur — a rich, indulgent and 100% vegan cream liqueur, best enjoyed over ice.
Penderyn Distillery
Penderyn Distillery, with sites in Penderyn, Swansea and Llandudno, produces award-winning single malt whiskies enjoyed worldwide. Their Single Malt Welsh Whisky (PGI) holds Protected Geographical Indication status, ensuring it is produced, matured, and bottled entirely in Wales to the highest standards.
We will be serving Penderyn Madeira Finish Single Malt Welsh Whisky PGI — the distillery’s signature style, aged in ex-bourbon barrels and finished in ex-Madeira casks to develop its rich golden character. This whisky is ranked among the world’s top five by Jim Murray in his Whisky Bible.
Cygnet Gin
Founded in 2023 by Neath’s own Katherine Jenkins, Cygnet Gin positions itself as the voice of luxury gin — sustainable, refined, and rooted in understated elegance. We are delighted to be stocking Cygnet Welsh Dry, distilled with 12 premium botanicals and presented in a sustainable, reusable bottle. With fresh notes of juniper, lime, pink grapefruit and more, it is an ideal choice for a classic gin and tonic, cocktails, or to enjoy neat.
Drop Bear Beer Co.
Inspired by the mythical Australian Drop Bear, Drop Bear Beer Co., based in Swansea, specialises in 0.5% craft beers that are entirely vegan and gluten-free. They are also proud to be the world’s first carbon-neutral alcohol-free brewer. We are delighted for Lounge to offer their Yuzu Pale Ale — a vibrant low-alcohol beer with a toffee base, grapefruit hops, and a refreshing burst of yuzu.
Evan Evans
Evan Evans, an award-winning brewery based in Llandeilo, is renowned for its traditional cask ales, keg ales, lagers, and ciders, as well as its growing zero-alcohol range. Its cider brand, Redhog Wild Cider, is crafted from apples grown in traditional orchards across Somerset, Herefordshire and the Welsh Borders, producing refreshing, gluten-free and vegan-friendly ciders.
We are pleased to offer Redhog Zero Summer Fruit Cider, a crisp, lightly sweet apple cider infused with ripe blackberries, blackcurrants and strawberries.
SA Brain & Co
The Dragon Brewery, part of SA Brain & Co. in Cardiff, combines traditional brewing techniques with modern innovation to craft exceptional beers since 1882. Lounge will be stocking their Barry Island IPA, an American-style IPA featuring vibrant hop and citrus aromas, a smooth malt character, and a crisp, bitter finish.
Hensol Castle Distillery
Hensol Castle Distillery, South Wales’ first full-scale distillery, is located in a Grade I listed castle in the Vale of Glamorgan. Its historic cellars now house the distillery, a contract bottling plant, and a gin school. Renowned for award-winning gins, liqueurs and spirits, Hensol Castle brings the taste of Wales to the UK.
We are pleased to offer Hensol Castle Vodka, a premium triple-distilled British potato vodka with a subtle hint of Welsh unaged single malt, best served over ice or in a long drink.
