Stop it

DP only gets the ferry so he can go back to his old favourites.

Today's dark beer of the day

Meet the Brewer night.

Brightside Porter. This is a new beer and is also everything it says on the tin.

And we won the quiz (next door.... Shush)

Tiny Rebel Urban Tap House Newport. The good news first. A golden tropical ale, the name of which escapes me. In the Clwb Tropicana mold, but less interestingly exotic. Clear as a bell and very refreshing. I was still at work so, at 4%, just the thing for a little sharpener.

Now for the bad news. Dinner in the same gaff, at my suggestion (the Cardiff branch serves decent burgers), so I feel responsible. Neither of my colleagues even drinks beer. Mine was a lacklustre Club sandwich with some sorry coleslaw. My friend went for something called The Southern. I can't even begin... Bonus p(o)int for anyone who can correctly identify all elements of the dish...

Looks to me like frozen chips, some kind of unidentifiable dung with a vomit topping and the coleslaw which is sorry stuff at the best of times and slots into the mayonnaise category of 'foodstuffs' which should be buried on the moon. Is the dung on a Birds Eye 'potato' waffle, fuggin weird! Beer looks nice mind.

Is it fried chicken and waffles? All the rage round these parts.

You should be an expert on waffle...

The 2014 edition was released on Monday. All the online stuff gone within minutes.

Uninteresting beer and dreadful food. Still, the décor looks really imaginative: unique, welcoming, and cosy .

Funnily enough, this describes to a tee, my feelings about where I was last night (except in Ottawa). Even the picture looks similar. There's something about what happens to brewpubs when they decide to 'go big' that is just a disaster. They seem to end up with all the (lack of) features of a chain but without the quality control and efficiency... and they all look the same everywhere in the world.

I must be bleedin' stupid. Finished 'work' at this over-priced boozer and was seduced into trying a half of this Siren IPA.
1.25 Mossirlamis ffs. For a half, I ask you! Never again and it's pretty unremarkable and underwhelming. Robbery.

It's taken a particular skill to combine motueka, amarillo and citra and yet come up something underwhelming.

It's shaken you to the point that your second picture is in focus!

Best have a lie down, old chap.

Hahahaha. This is Newport High Street. 'Welcoming' is a relative thing...
