The Queens Vaults

Brewed continuously since the company was founded in 1882, Brains Bitter is a crisp, honest beer with golden amber hues and a fruity, hoppy flavour. A truly popular pint, it's genuinely stood the test of time.

Tasting Notes: The famous ‘pint of Brains’ is rich amber coloured, well balanced and refreshing. Goldings and Fuggles hops from The Welsh Marches create an appetising crisp aroma to complement the subtle flavour of fine pale malt. Crystal clear water combines with the unique Brains yeast to create the complete Welsh beer experience.

Dark and smoky, 9 malts give the beer a rich, complex body, with smoked oats giving it something completely different.

Tasting Notes: To balance all the malty goodness it’s packed to the gunnels with Slovenian hops to provide an equalising bitterness that adds yet another layer of depth.

Doom Bar is a perfectly balanced beer combining subtle yet complex flavours, Doom Bar is both satisfying and deliciously moreish.

Tasting Notes: “The aroma of Doom Bar combines an accomplished balance of spicy resinous hop, inviting sweet malt and delicate roasted notes. The mouth feel is a perfectly balanced and complex blend of succulent dried fruit, lightly roasted malty notes and a subtle yet assertive bitterness. The bitterness remains into the finish with dry fruity notes which implore the drinker to go back for more.” Stuart Howe, Head Brewer.
