A recent (and reasoned) criticism from tried and tested of Brains' dominance of the Cardiff beer scene. He's a long term Cardiff dweller and ale lover ... In my Real Ales in Wales thread, that one.
Personally I don't think Brains are cunts or anything, they help us out with our beer fest in Swansea and I like their recent moves towards craft beer experimentation. I have doubts though about how dominant they are in Cardiff -- variety of ale range in the city is reduced in our experience -- sometimes severely.
I'm posting from a city where the choice is even worse mostly! But Bristol kicks the arse of both Swansea and Cardiff ale choice and ale range wise.
Very small image i know-its a Brains thing my Dad reckons hes been in 80% of those pubs.
But one of those is the farkin Retreat Llanedeyrn!-now unless thats had a major makeover i cant believe visiting some nondescript hole with concrete furnishings outside would be enjoyable.
