Brains beer is OK, but nothing special*. The are plenty of good breweries in Wales, Dogs Window, Pipes, Mad Dog, Crafty Devil, Polly's, Arcadian VOG, Tenby Harbour, to name just a few of them. Go and try their beers and you will learn that the Welsh can make very good beer.
* I like Barry Island IPA
Brewdog Layer cake is my new favourite
Proper job is a decent IPA which I drink. Me and our kid visited the St Austell brewery when the city were playing their pre-season matches. They had just bought the Bath Ales brewery business, which also made some quality beers.
My favourite IPA is Jaipur from the Thornbridge brewery which you can buy in cans/kegs and is sometimes on tap in Wetherspoons.
My local is a Thornbridge pub - with a fantastic range of their beers. I think they set up the brewery in the early 2000s in Thornbridge Hall outside Sheffield (used to be a council owned venue for conferences, training events and private hire with a lot of bedrooms) and have grown it massively in the past 25 years - including at about 8 pubs in the Sheffield area. Jaipur is too strong for my taste (5.9 %) for anything more than a small sipping glass. Brother Rabbit on the other hand slides down like nectar!
