It's a Cardiff beer so I think you should be able to find a better pint of it down here rather than letting them cockneys mess about with it.

Plenty of pubs selling it, but I think he was asking about whether real ale was available in the ground. Real drinkers need to know.

There are three varieties of Brains available at the bars at the club.

Smooth, Dark and SA I believe.

Outside I'm not certain but there are a few bars outside.

Maybe a few Hull fans might know as I always get my drink from in the bar.

That doesn't answer the question - are they served cask-conditioned or brewery-conditioned? As that question would only make sense to a real ale nut, are the beers served from a hand-pump or a keg tap (the Smooth is obviously the latter)? That will determine whether it is better to drink in a real-ale pub outside the ground, or go into the ground early and drink there.

I seem to remember that one of the bars had SA on handpump last season but I didn't get into the bar at the Hull game to check. If you want a decent pint of Real Ale your best bet is the Wetherspoons in town

I'm sure it's a keg tap, as in not the big fecking white one.

Have a few outside the ground if it's not to your liking.

If I can get to a game I'll certainly do that - Brains Dark is one of my favourite beers.
