London to get Brains

Wales' biggest real ale brewery will be running a bar at the Great British Beer Festival in Earl's Court next week. This will be the second year running that the famous Welsh company of SA Brain have decided to promote their real ales at the premier beer event in the UK and their Bitter, Dark, SA, SA Gold and Rev James beers will be available on their bar. Brains will be joining other regional brewers such as Fullers, Shepherd Neame and Hook Norton in supporting the Great British Beer Festival by having their own bars at this showcase event.

SA Brains has recruited Welsh rugby legend Rob Jones to serve up its beer at the Great British Beer Festival.

Former Wales and Lions scrum-half Jones will be serving up brews and chatting to customers on 4 August from 12-3pm as part of his ambassadorial role for the company.
“Brains is synonymous with Wales so working with them in this capactity has been a source of great pride and excitement. It’s great to see increased demand for Brains outside of Wales and I will be encouraging anyone who hasn’t yet tried a pint to sample Wales’ finest,” said Jones
