Tiny Rebel, Newport

Called into this pub which features in the 2019 Good Beer Guide while on a pub tour of Gwent. Difficult to give an opinion as it was extremely noisy and extremely rammed with Rugby being shown on screens so very difficult to see what was available to choose. There was a Thornbridge Rocky Road Lucaria and a lot of the normal Tiny Rebel range on cask. There were 2 of their Milkshake beers, Citra and Mango and we chose a Mango one which was fine.

Brew Dog like industrial space but with very good real ale, plenty of opening to the street giving lots of light

Tiny Rebel's second pub in their home town was something of a breath of fresh air after the poor JDWs. I entered to find a Wales rugby match going on so it was dark for the TV projector screen at the other end of the rectangular room. In the relative darkness I noted eight hand pumps with four or five Tiny Rebel brews and also Mallinson's on one clip with one line being cleaned. Things improved when the rugby finished and the lights came on but I had ordered my pint of their Random Number Generator Pale Black IPA (£3.60) which was excellent. I wouldn't call £3.60 a "sensible" price especially in South Wales so only stayed for one. It's an interesting place but for me it was overly expensive.
