The Duke of Cambridge pours a pint in Wales and what I've missed this week!
The Duke of Cambridge was in Wales yesterday to officially open the new Brains Brewery in Cardiff before attending the Wales vs Ireland Six Nations Match at Principality Stadium.
Established in 1882, Brains is Wales' biggest brewer and is the official ale partner of the Welsh Rugby Union.
Mr Rhys, who is the great great-grandson of the company founder Samuel Arthur Brain, said: 'We were honoured to welcome the duke to officially open the Dragon Brewery.
'This marks an important step in our exciting plans to set up our proud, family-owned Welsh company to prosper in the long term.
"We look forward to launching new beers and building on the success of our thriving pub estate in the coming years.'
His Royal Highness was given a tour of their new Dragon Brewery, where he spoke to production operative and heard about the brewery's latest developments.
The Duke meets production operatives.
And to no ones surprise, the Duke filled a nine-gallon cask of beer. Much of you may remember while visiting Empire Music Hall along with Catherine late last month.
"I shan't neck the whole lot," he joked after taking a sip, according to the Daily Mai.

- The Duchess of Sussex has officially gone on maternity leave, concluding her public engagements til the birth of baby Sussex. I expect Meghan will return from maternity leave early September.
- It's official! The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will officially split royal households! This was bound to happen, and for those who can't tell, I'm over the moon! The Cambridge's and Sussex's are both are incredibly separate points in the royal career. William and Kate are currently preparing for their future role as King and Queen and Harry and Meghan are just starting their roles in the Commonwealth. And for those wondering, we will not be changing are name or who we post about. No matter the change.
- Tomorrow, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will attend St Patrick's Day Parade.
