The Brains family are obviously cashing in - they’ve sold the Brewery site on Penarth Road at the side of the station which is currently being demolished to make way for a huge development and the public house sell off confirms the scaling down of their business empire.
So where do they brew their beer now?Originally Posted by Padraig1968
Who cares, does anybody ever drink that shite?
Me.Who cares, does anybody ever drink that shite?
Had a lovely pint of Rev James in the White Horse, Coychurch on Saturday
The only pint I'll drink in a Brains pub. Only it's not Brains it's Buckleys !
I love real ale , but cannot say anything good to about there their current batch of ales , sadly Coffee one is their future .Who cares, does anybody ever drink that shite?
Wonder if they use water from the Taff?
I’m not sure
Obviously a brown field site acquired on the cheap with huge incentives from the Welsh Arsembley government.
And to Eric I wouldn’t be surprised if they used water from the Taff as their beer always gives me the trots 😂😂
top house(the station hotel) cogan is one
If The Napier goes that's a match day watering hole gone. Not sure how busy that gets during the week?
Stick to your alcopops sonnyWho cares, does anybody ever drink that shite?
It's off Ocean Way.
Dark
SA
Black
Barry Island IPA
They brew some fantastic beers.
SA Gold is a lovely drink.
It used to be wonderful as was Dark , something has happened to is brewing process and taste
Sad to hear that. Probably more chemicals in the recipe now to help the beer keep longer?
I did shifts behind a bar in a Valleys social club as a nipper (16 year old) and my boss was a Cardiff boy. He had Brains Dark and SA on tap. SA was a decent pint although I was strictly lager tops then. Dark was an acquired taste mind.
yes Dark was a very nutty taste then , think it was cheaper than SA though and it was truly a skull attack beer, it is very sad to say I avoid the Brains pubs if I can
The new brewery is in Tremorfa. It’s a tin shack that was opened last year by HRH Prince Harry.
Brains have pubs as far afield as West Wales and Bath. In fact, I got married just outside Bristol and the deciding factor was the Brains pub next door so that I could nip there before the wedding with my entourage and have a swift Reverend James!
Might put a cheeky bid in for The Albany. A great little pub.
you lot dont know how good you've had it . try drinking some swedish brewed piss.
plus they are totally fascinated with paying top prices for IPA cats piss at almost 10 quid a bottle 33cl
I live down West. There are 3 Brains nearby. In fact I am in the Grove in St David's as we speak.
Wouldnt be surprised to see this one go as a premier inn will be opening in a matter of months which will take much of the b&b trade.
In Mid Wales I use the Dovey Arms and White Lion, Bala. Both are busy and will stay.
I have commented before that Brains are not investing in their estate. All the pubs I've mentioned could do with upgrading.
Ps they sold the Angel in Narberth a few months ago after telling all and sundry they were going to refurbish it. Seems like big change of strategy, cash flow issues perhaps?
They let The Bowl Inn in Lower Almondsbury, near Bristol, go downhill before selling it on.
I think they tried to be like Fullers, but never achieved the scale.
Fuller have just sold off their 'London Pride' business so maybe they're more alike than you think
Apart from the Barry IPA I think brains’ offering is pretty poor. With the craft market flourishing I think brains’ days are numbered
