The 4K Emergency Beano
A late start Emergency Beano after booking a Gloucester Oktoberfest and a GooglePixel 6a. Two away from Four Thousand Untappd Uniques. Starting in the Pen and Wig (Newport) and plus one and on cask to boot. The 4K was in Tiny Rebel’s Newport Bar, the corner by the bar and with a Triple Tropica, weighing in at 10% ABV, which I though was fitting. Moving on to try out Weird Day’s Taproom. It started to gently rain, which I thought was a good sign, post Amber Heat Alert. With it only being 15 minutes from the centre of town, it’s a hidden gem. Friendly staff, a great selection of beers, live Untappd and FTTC WiFi. If only it could open at 10:00 instead of 14:00. Revisit planned.
Embrace The Opaque
Commercial Street Newport Costa Coffee still not open at 07:00, despite what the Costa Website says. However the Costa at the station opens at 06:00 and the lady behind the counter was excellent. Started in The John Wallace Linton, where the Hazy Jane (my Breakfast Beer of choice) was in plentiful supply.
The Pen And Wig (Newport – Dog Friendly) for 10:02. The joy of it being back to the way it was pre Rhona, Cask and Citra to boot.
Chip shops can be tricky on a Monday, so it was Plan B and 50p more to boot. However a good sized portion and just around the corner from Tiny Rebel.
Speaking of which. In the corner by the power and now next to the organic back wall. Nothing better than slowly drinking the afternoon away. Solid Monday.
