SA Brain has welcomed His Royal Highness, The Duke of Cambridge, who officially opened the brand new state-of-the-art Dragon Brewery.
Before demonstrating his skills in pulling a pint of Brains, His Royal Highness was given a tour of the company’s new high-tech brewery and shown how our famous beers are brewed.
The Duke also took the opportunity to fill a 9-gallon cask of beer as part of his tour, while meeting the brewery team and some of the staff who have been installing the equipment over the past few months.
As Wales’ best-known brewer and pub company, Brains has reinforced its commitment to brewing in the nation’s capital by commissioning the Dragon Brewery on a new site at Pacific Road in Cardiff Bay. Here the brewer will be producing more than 20 million pints of Brains beer a year across a variety of different styles, while meeting the very latest environmental standards.
John Rhys, Chairman of Brains, said, “We were honoured to welcome the Duke to officially open the Dragon Brewery. This marks an important step in our exciting plans to set-up our proud, family-owned Welsh Company to prosper in the long term. We look forward to launching new beers and building on the success of our thriving pub estate in the coming years.'
