Limited Edition Beers are sold through pubs for specific time periods (e.g Christmas, Six Nations etc). Each beer is typically available for 4-6 weeks and there are 4-6 Limited Editions available throughout the year.

Brains wishes to commission Welsh or Wales based artists to create art for each of its Limited Edition beers, starting with the two Christmas beers – Santas Ale and Santas Blotto (it is keen to rename the latter and open to suggestions). The beer will be sold in pubs during the festive season.
