Yr Ieuan Ap Iago in Aberdare is listed in CAMRA’s Good Beer Guide 2025,

An Aberdare pub has been acclaimed for the quality of its real ale – by members of
the town’s Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) branch.
Yr Ieuan Ap Iago in High Street is listed in CAMRA’s Good Beer Guide 2025, the
UK’s best-selling beer and pub guide (published Thursday 26 September).
Local branch members chose the Wetherspoon pub following regular visits to check
on the quality of the real ales on offer.
They also took into account customer service, décor and overall atmosphere.
A CAMRA spokesman said: “Yr Ieuan Ap Iago deserves its place in the Good Beer
Guide 2025.
“It is our belief that if a licensee serves an excellent pint of real ale, then everything
else in the pub, including customer service, quality of food and atmosphere, are likely
to be of an equally high standard.”
The pub’s manager, Danielle Stephens, said: “I am delighted that Yr Ieuan Ap Iago
has been recognised for the quality of its real ales by CAMRA members.
“We offer our customers an excellent range of real ales at all times, including those
from regional brewers and microbrewers, as well as hosting our own beer festivals.
“Staff at the pub work hard to ensure that the real ales on offer are kept in first-class
condition at all times and the pub’s inclusion in the guide highlights this.”
