|
| Bedwas with angry looking clouds. | Coffee#01 on Commercial Street. Excellent coffee. | |
 |
 |
|
| A large one to start the day. | The John Wallace Linton. | |
 |
 |
|
| American Ale, brewed in Carmarthenshire. | Packed out. | |
 |
 |
|
| This one from Scotland. | Yes, a Swedish cafe in Newport. | |
 |
 |
|
| In search of better WiFi, The Queens Hotel. | Your standard beer pun name. | |
 |
 |
|
| The oldest pub in Newport? | And it’s a Samuel Smith’s house. | |
 |
 |
|
| As it was early in the day. | Tiny Rebel Central. | |
 |
||
| Urban IPA. |

| Take the A or B to Cardiff from Caerphilly Bus Station and get off here. | Take the right just ahead. | |
 |
 |
|
| Head down the hill. | Pass the signs. | |
 |
 |
|
| A little welcome shade. | About 15 minutes from the Bus stop. | |
 |
 |
|
| The entrance to the car park. | And the pub itself. | |
 |
 |
|
| The bar. Free WiFi. | Hops hanging from the ceiling | |
 |
 |
|
| Cwtch – Tiny Rebel. | Castell Coch – Celt Experience. Brewed just down the hill. | |
 |
 |
|
| Silures – Celt Experience. Note the Black Cock picture in the Pump Clip. | Good food. Caerphilly Curry and Chips. |
