The Wern Fawr's regular cask beers are from the 9Lives Brewery (previously Bryncelyn Brewery which started in the cellar of the pub in 1999). There are three regular beers (9Lives) all retaining Buddy Holly themed names, plus one changing guest ale. The bar is home to a large collection of artefacts from the locality and is firmly on the must visit list for real ale and historic pub enthusiasts.

Heritage Pub of Wales and CAMRA Pub Interior of Regional Importance.

Listed status: Not listed
The public bar here retains old bar fittings along with something rarely seen these days: an old stove with the flue rising up from it and out through the exterior wall. Note the old till drawer in the bar-back fitting; the counter survives but was moved back a few feet in the 1970s. Other features are some original etched windows on the front and old fixed seating. The stove, nicknamed 'the Nuclear Reactor', was introduced in 1968 and is still in use most days. On the left, two small rooms were knocked together in the 1970s and new bar fittings installed.
