Manufacturer description

Here In Wales you have Rugby and the hallowed turf of the Millennium Stadium, Welsh choirs, mountains, sheep, the odd leek and daffodil and BRAINS. Brains beer has been brewed by founder Samuel Arthur Brain and his descendents since 1882 and the Cardiff-based brewery is still there and still run by the family.

Here we celebrate the famous regional brewery on our Volvo FH Curtainside truck decorated in a dramatic black colour scheme with red and gold Welsh Dragon on the sides of the trailer, cab doors and wind deflector. The Brains logo is applied in contrasting white lettering on the sides of the trailer whilst printed across the top of the rear door is a slogan, 'It's Brains you Want'. And a final detail sees the 'personalised' registration plate BR55 AIN.
