A veritable\u00a0Smokestack of Beery Promise, the tower marks the location of the Brains Brewery, which\u00a0shifted\u00a0from the centre of Cardiff back in 2000.<\/p>\n
The site of the old Brewery –\u00a0which\u00a0used to spew out its unique aroma around the confines of Chip Alley (aka Caroline Street) – has now been rebranded into a lah-de-dah<\/em>\u00a0‘Brewery Quarter’.<\/p>\n For over a decade, the Brains tower has stood as a welcoming vision to anyone arriving in Cardiff, delivering a clear, simple message: “Get ye to the pub and get\u00a0swiftly\u00a0smashed on Brains SA”.<\/p>\n And as far as I’m concerned, that’s real words of\u00a0wisdom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Stepping off the London train, there’s not many sights more\u00a0welcoming than the dreamy vision of the Brains brewery tower, manfully thrusting into the Cardiff sky\u00a0above\u00a0the railway station.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9541,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[20,193,198],"tags":[111,457,1196,1194],"class_list":["post-9540","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cardiff","category-places","category-wales-places","tag-beer","tag-brain","tag-cardiff","tag-wales"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.urban75.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/brains-brewery-cardiff.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pQI7P-2tS","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.urban75.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9540","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.urban75.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.urban75.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.urban75.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.urban75.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9540"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.urban75.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9540\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9545,"href":"https:\/\/www.urban75.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9540\/revisions\/9545"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.urban75.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9541"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.urban75.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9540"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.urban75.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9540"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.urban75.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9540"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Great](\"https:\/\/www.urban75.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/brains-brewery-cardiff-2.jpg\" "\\"Great")
