Brains to launch Strong Ale at the Great Welsh

Brains Strong Ale

Brains’ original Strong Ale returns to market tomorrow at the Great Welsh Beer and Cider Festival (GWBCF)

The original SA, at 6.5% ABV, has been brewed to an historic recipe from Brains’ brewing archives, using the finest pale ale malt and Brains’ unique yeast, and differs from today’s 4.2% Brains SA.

The beer is available exclusively at next week’s Great Welsh Beer and Cider Festival in Cardiff (16th - 18th of June) alongside seven other Brains brands, and will make a second appearance at Great British Beer Festival in London (2nd - 6th of August).

TASTING NOTES
Strong Ale is a 6.5% ABV beer brewed with the finest pale ale malt and Brains’ unique yeast. Crystal malt provides a distinctive caramel flavour with a slightly nutty after palate and late addition of Fuggles and Goldings hops give a balanced bitterness and hoppy aroma.
