Meet your founding BRAS Committee! 🍻 James Graham is leading the charge as Founding President, with Luke handling our social designs. We're ready to explore Brighton's real ale scene!

The first ever BRAS social! 🍻 We kicked off the 23/24 academic year at The Sussex Arms with a lovely pint of Greene King IPA. This marks the official start of our journey to discover the best cask ales in Brighton!

Introducing the BRAS Committee for 2024/25! 🍻 James Graham returns as President, joined by Max taking over as our new Socials & Media Officer! Here's to another great year of cask ale!

Kicking off the 24/25 year right! 🍻 Our first social of the academic year brought us to The Independent Taproom where we enjoyed an excellent High 5 oat pale from Hand Brew Co. Great to see returning faces and welcome our new members!

Thank you to everyone who came last night to celebrate the BRAS 1 year anniversary! 🎉 In recognition of this we collaborated with Pepperpot Brewery and brewed the BRAS best bitter, a sweet yet full bodied bitter, and released this beer last night. This was also the first time real ale was sold at The Venue @subrighton_thevenue who we appreciate for facilitating such a great event for us. We thank everyone who has come to any social in the last 12 months, we wouldn't be here without the continued support and enthusiasm from members, for which we are forever grateful. 💛💙 🍻🍻 ### [2026-09-01 12:00:00+00:00](https://www.instagram.com/brightonrealalesocbras/) A new era for BRAS!

It's finally here. Operation Full Circle is a go! Join us at @subrighton_thevenue on Thursday as we launch our new beer Full Circle Pale Ale. Collaborating with @360brewco we helped brew more ale, which is the headlining drink of this music festival. So come along throughout the Thursday, Friday and Saturday and get yourself a pint of Full Circle!

The annual BRAS awards 2025! 🍻🎉 This was our final social of the year and once again giving out our society awards, congratulations to those who won. This was the final social of many of us, and the last social for me as president. It's been a great pleasure starting and running a society for the past 20 months and I'm so proud of what we've done in so little time. Let's the BRAS live on for years to come! Cheers! 🍻 - James

First social of 25/26! 🍻 We had an amazing turnout at Brighton Bierhaus to start our new academic year. The cask ale is flowing and the committee is excited for the year ahead!
