A SPECIALLY brewed ale to support 15 former Wales captains in their quest to reach the roof of Africa will go on sale in supermarkets this week.

The Up and Over Brains ale will be sold at Welsh Tesco Extras and superstores with 15p from every bottle going towards the £1m Brains SA Captains Climb appeal.

Former captains Ieuan Evans, Rob Jones, Gareth Thomas, Jonathan Humphreys and Bleddyn Bowen spent yesterday evening packing customers’ shopping bags as they launched the beer at the Tesco Talbot Green store.

… Up and Over was created by some of the team members who will climb Kilimanjaro in September to raise money for lung cancer research and awareness in Wales.
