Its only Welsh speaking Welsh men ,like me, that can remember how to spell it! As for Brian's Porter, I'm not familiar with that brewery, perhaps you meant Brains ? (a popular South Wales brewery) After viewing the picture I have to say it looks too light for a porter, I'd say it was a bitter. By the way my favourite brewery in Wales is located at the end of the narrow gauge railway in Porthmadog, Bragdy Mws Piws or the Purple Moose Brewery, its almost as good as my all time favourite brewery Roosters/Outlaw in Knaresborough. So good I moved from Wales to a small village within ten miles of the brewery....hic... If I was organised enough here would be a link to a picture of me drinking too much Roosters/Mws Piws Cheers!
