After 7 years, Brains Brewery has unveiled a complete rebrand - New logo, new website, and new bottle designs.

Founded in 1882, Brains has been at the heart of Welsh brewing for more than 140 years - CEO Nick Payne calls the rebrand a “significant milestone”, saying it blends Brains’ heritage with a bold, modern identity built for today’s drinkers.

Partnering with design studio Toward, the brewery is rolling out a look and feel designed to land with a new generation - without losing the legacy millions already love.

"A Botched, Burdensome Licensing Regime for Short-term Lets in Wales Will Hit Ordinary People the Hardest"

GUEST COLUMN ⚡
Carl Thomson – Public Policy Manager, UK, Airbnb

"Airbnb hosts in Wales aren’t big corporations - they’re ordinary people sharing one space for just 31 nights a year… often to help pay the bills. Yet the proposed licensing regime piles on new fees, paperwork, training, approvals and renewals - with some politicians even calling for neighbour vetoes and parking-based refusals."

With the bill being rushed through before next year’s election, Carl Thomson argues it’s time to hit pause, get proper evidence, and avoid a tourism-own-goal Wales can’t afford.

Cardiff Airport has announced direct flights to Toronto are launching 23rd May, 2026 - Operated by WestJet - Canada’s leading low-cost airline.

It’s a major international comeback for Cardiff Airport and a huge boost for Wales’ economy, tourism and global visibility.

With 4 flights a week, travellers will get access to Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal and beyond - and Canadians will have an easy gateway to Wales’ coastlines, culture and world-class visitor experiences.

Leaders are calling it a “major milestone” for Wales, opening the door to new trade, talent, and investment opportunities - especially with Canada co-hosting the FIFA World Cup 2026™ - Canada, Mexico and the United States.

More than 32,000 new jobs and 26,400 homes could soon reshape the capital - and Cardiff Council says it can do it without touching a single new greenfield site.

Here are the headlines:
- 26,400 new homes - all on brownfield or already-approved land
- 32,000+ jobs planned
- 6,000 affordable homes guaranteed
- Green Wedge protected
- Zero new greenfield sites
- 75% of trips by sustainable transport by 2030

Do you think Cardiff is ready for this level of development?

A secret new city-centre oasis is about to appear - and it’s going to transform the heart of Swansea. 🌱

Work is officially starting on Mowbray Yard, a stunning green courtyard packed with trees, planting and relaxing spaces - all created to honour local legend Huw Mowbray, the man behind some of Swansea’s biggest regeneration wins.

Council Leader Rob Stewart calls it “a beautiful new courtyard” and “a lasting tribute to Huw” - the creative force behind the Swansea.com Stadium, Swansea Arena, and the Wind Street transformation.
