Description
At Brains we are proud to be Welsh & proud that we remain family owned.
Brains beers were brewed in the Old Brewery on St Mary Street from 1882 right up to 1999 when operating from such a tight city-centre site became unviable. Fortunately, the Cardiff Brewery behind Cardiff Central station was up for sale and Brains production moved to a new home. However exciting new redevelopments in the centre of the city have led to a further move and the building of the brand new state of the art Dragon Brewery in Cardiff Bay which was opened in March 2019.

Cask at Picture House, Stafford. Pours a pale straw with a large white head and good lacing. Not much of an aroma, just some hints of floral hops and malts. Sweet malts to the fore at first in the aroma, but later some bitter hops come through along with grains and traces of orange peel. Sweetness returns at the finish. It’s OK, nothing more.
