Beers Of The Beano - Saturday 28 March 2026
Tech Probs and a really strong, chilly wind. A pre BST Beano in Newport and Caerphilly.
Starting in The John Wallace Linton
Hazy IPA - Stewart Brewing - 5.0% ABV. B++, stronger in taste than the Untappd reviews. Fruity and tingly on the tongue #ale #beer #bier
3.5/5. The John Wallace Linton has certainly upped its Craft Can Game. Although it’s still difficult to find on the till. Worth a punt.
Newport Cask in Newport
Two Pint Cap - Weird Dad - 4.8% ABV. B+ and a bit and a touch. Big and malty, rather complex and interesting. Tidy Pint #ale #beer #bier
3.4/5. New one from Weird Dad, on cask at The Pen and Wig Newport. The Weird Dad is drinking really well.
Project Food Part 01
Observer - Dark Element - 6.0% ABV. B++, big head, hazy, fruity, spicy with a spicy bitter finish. Solid Brew #ale #beer #bier
3.5/5. Started to rain and now colder. In The Project Caerphilly where they still have Welsh Cakes. Welsh Fine Ales too
Project Food Part 02
Republic - Dark Element - 6.5% ABV. B++, brewed in conjunction with Craft Republic, Barry. Hoppy, juicy and stuffed full of New Zealand hops #ale #beer #bier
3.5/5. Thick and full of flavoursome hops. Oats too for the thick and gentle mouthfeel. Strong fruity finish.
