Weird Dad Brewery Tap, Newport

Micro-pub sized brewery taproom and off licence, located just over the River Usk from the centre of town, so definitely a bit quieter than many outlets on a scorchingly hot Saturday afternoon but still quite hard to find a seat until a large group headed onwards. With four handpumps on the compact counter, I found a couple of their own beers - including my Karma Citra (£4.00) - along with a pair of ciders.

'Other side of town' GBG-listed micro with somewhat truncated opening hours. A pretty basic place with a DIY ethos. Just one of theirs on cask, and sadly flat (NBSS 2). Two other cask and a cider made-up the set. Lee's black pudding scotch egg saved the day, as did a friendly welcome and a couple of Belgian bottles I've not had before from the fridge.
