BRAGDY Cybi, a microbrewery in Holyhead, is planning an expansion to meet the ever-growing demand for its range of local craft beers.
The family-run business currently has a microbrewery and taproom open to the public based in Unit 4a, Penrhos Industrial Estate, Holyhead.
Husband and wife, Daniel and Bethan Jones, set up the company in 2020 and since then the business has gone from strength to strength.
The venture was primarily backed by private investment but has most recently also been supported by Anglesey Council through the Welsh Government funded ‘Arfor Programme’ to generate both local economic and Welsh language benefits.
Bragdy Cybi brewer, Daniel Jones said: “We are very grateful for the support we have received from the Arfor Programme. It has helped us towards the costs of scaling up our production and also setting up the taproom.

“Demand for our beers keeps growing, and we are now looking at increasing our production capacity for our different range of beers.”
Anglesey’s Deputy Leader and Economy Portfolio Holder, Councillor Carwyn Jones said, “I’m very pleased that the recent expansion at Brady Cybi has proved to be successful. It’s important that we continue to explore external funding opportunities such as the Arfor programme to generate both local economic and Welsh language benefits.”
He added, “It’s fantastic to see how successful Bragdy Cybi has been in such a short period of time. I very much look forward to seeing further growth in their business and its positive contribution to the island’s economy.”
The microbrewery also hosts small events, as owner Bethan Jones explained: “Our Penrhos taproom is also available for small functions, for example we are hosting beer, cheese and Welsh language taster sessions as a fun way for people to start learning or improving their Welsh language skills.”
The light-hearted language taster sessions have been commissioned by Menter Iaith Môn under the UK Community Renewal Fund ‘Iaith Môn’ project, which seeks to promote the use and learning of the Welsh language in the community.
Anglesey’s Regeneration Manager, Dewi Lloyd, said: “This is an excellent example of a successful new local enterprise. They have created a popular product range that has a clear local identity and distinct bilingual branding.”
