Tiny Rebel Brewery Bar, Rogerstone

Part of brewery complex.

Impressive new build bar and dining area, with large veranda and shop on site. A wide range of Tiny Rebel beers in cask, keg, bottles and cans is available, though the 12 handpulls now typically features only 4 beers and 2 ciders or perries (albeit with 2015 Champion Beer of Britain Cwtch an apparently permanent offering), Opened on July 1st 2017 and has proved immensely popular both with drinkers and diners. All beers are from the brewery, but will include all of their beers at one time or another. The food menu is limited but well executed. The brewery is widely signposted on the approach roads, and three large colourful grain silos also announce its presence so you can't miss it! The bar has views of the brewery from the restaurant area, while the front opens out onto a spacious south-facing veranda. A second mezzanine type floor extends the drinking area even more; this is also used for functions and there's a meeting room off this. Note the somewhat self-important mural featuring the two founders of the brewery and the basic ingredients of beer in Latin! The now familiar Tiny Rebel logo dominates the wall above the bar and is flanked by examples of merchandise available for purchase from the brewery shop. Furniture is a mix of high tables, round wooden topped tables and comfortable sofa-style seating, while the now familiar artwork is evident. Overall this is another example of the kind of innovation we have come to expect from this go-ahead brewery. The only drawback is the high noise level when it starts to get busy, due to the cavernous nature of the building. A secondary development for a distribution centre expected to vastly increase capacity is beginning opposite the brewery. Pedestrian access via Wern Terrace off St John's Crescent or down from Bethesda Place) is about 10 minutes from the bus stops through bollards that prevent vehicles entering the industrial estate from this end of the road.
