S.A.Brain & Co. Ltd Round tin tray dating from the 1970s. Brains was founded in 1882 when Samuel Arthur Brain and his uncle Joseph Benjamin Brain bought the Old Brewery from the Thomas family. The Old Brewery had been founded on St. Mary Street, Cardiff, in 1713. The Company was registered as S.A.Brain & Co. Ltd in 1897. By 1900 Brains had increased production tenfold and this success resulted in the construction of a new brewery on Nora Street in Roath, Cardiff, in 1914. During the 20th century S.A.Brain & Co. Ltd became one of the most recognised brewers in South Wales. In 1997 Brains took over Crown Buckley PLC of Llanelli which it closed in the same year. In 1999 S.A.Brain & Co. Ltd purchased William Hancock & Co. Ltd's old brewery from Bass Charrington Ltd and moved its production to this site. In 2003 the original Old Brewery was redeveloped as a bar and restaurant complex. The business was moved again, in 2019, to a new Dragon Brewery at the Pacific Business Park, in Tremorfa, Cardiff. Hancock's old brewery was closed and is now awaiting redevelopment. In 2020 Marstons PLC took over the running of 156 public houses, owned by Brains, through a 25 year lease-back deal. The Company is still owned by the Brains family. The manufacturer's mark states - Salesprint & Display Ltd. Burton-on-Trent. Made in England.
