Scene from the Victoria Inn in Mumbles,Swansea. Maybe she was sad because they didn't have her favorite beer on? This is a great pub and the landlady is lovely. Definitely worth a stop if you are in Mumbles and right around the corner from my favorite Mumbles pub the Park Inn. The pub also features a Victorian well inside.

A pint of Tomos Watkin's Worms Head Ale at the Helvetia Bar inside the Worms Head Hotel in Rhossili, Swansea.

Five good selections from one of my favorite local bars. Featuring a local beer, Genny Cream Ale, as well as a beer most of us wait all year for...Nugget Nectar. At Acme on Saturdays every draft, bottle and well is 2 for 1. Can't beat that deal.

Spotted at the White Horse in London.

Y Mochyn Du is a welsh speaking pub in Cardiff with a great selection of real ale. The name means The Black Pig. They also have a huge selection of wines available.

The Pear Tree Inn in Banbury. Look at those lovely hops that decorate the bar. This is a Hook Norton pub and is within walking distance of the brewery. Did I mention Hook Norton has turned into my favorite brewery? I blame the Peels

Scene from a local Beer Advocate tasting. We don't fear carbonation.
