Sad Lady at Pub

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.

The eclectic Green Man in Fitzrovia, London is a popular pub that serves a very large range of ciders and some excellent beers. There are about a dozen ciders on draught and as many again in bottles. They even serve their own cider made by Westons. Beers include Sierra Nevada, Leffe, wheat beers and three guest ales.

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 Blue Anchor Inn in East Aberthaw, South Wales, dates from 1380 and apart from a serious fire in 2004 which resulted in its closure, it has pretty much operated continuously since the reign of Richard II.

I'm a craft beer lover. However, a night out with friends does not always have to include this. Taken at the No Sign bar in Swansea on a night we were lucky enough to meet some new friends. All of these beers were dirt cheap and did the trick just fine. Cheers to making new friends.

Brains beer lineup at Terra Nova in Cardiff Bay, Wales. These are some of the best beers out there in my opinion. I especially love the Brains Dark.
