| 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. |
Before the rain
