Description

In 2021, SA Brain put its freehold and leasehold pubs on the market. Most of these went to Carlsberg Marston's Brewing Co on a 25 year lease. The proceeds from the subsequent deals provided a foundation for the modern state-of-the-art facility, Dragon Brewery, to continue to brew in Cardiff. These beers are served in its former pubs, and widely in the free trade across the UK.
