The Vale of Neath brewery was founded by David Evans in 1846 and acquired by Evan Evans in 1850. He also owned the Swansea Vale Brewery, founded by David Bevan, from the 1860s, which was not closed until 1937. Finally succumbed to Whitbread & Co’s desperate attempts to catch up with the other national brewers in 1967. Brewing finally ended in 1972.
