Felinfoel Brewery, Historic brewery in Llanelli, Wales.
Felinfoel Brewery is a production facility in Llanelli, Wales, constructed in 1878 with Grade II* listed status and traditional industrial design. The building features functional structures typical of late 19th-century Welsh manufacturing sites.
The facility was established in 1878 during Wales' industrial growth period. In 1935, it became the first brewery across the United Kingdom to produce canned beer commercially.
The building displays traces of its Welsh industrial roots, with workers historically using locally sourced ingredients in their recipes. These practices shaped how the community viewed brewing craft over generations.
Tours are available from Tuesday through Saturday with advance booking recommended. Visitors should wear closed-toe footwear and check accessibility requirements when planning their visit.
During World War II, the lightweight canned format made the beer popular for shipping to soldiers stationed abroad. This military connection remains a remarkable chapter in the facility's story.
