Mid-evening visit. Very hot inside this pub and hottest next to the open plan kitchen at the back. We sat just inside the open doorway at the very front.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tudor - Black Mountain Stout | 4.00 | | |
| Tenby Harbour - North Star | 4.40 | | A new brewery to me. This was a malty, amber-coloured beer. |
| Brains - SA | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
| Marston's - Bass | 4.40 | Not Tried | |
| Felinfoel - Celtic Pride | 5.00 | Not Tried |

Evening until quite late. Lots of people watching televised rugby union and all supporting whoever it was who happened to be playing against England (France on this occasion I think).
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tudor - IPA | 4.00 | | Golden. Citrusy, with a bitter finish. |
| Boss - Best | 4.20 | | A chestnut-coloured, malt-led, traditional Best Bitter. Fruity. |
| Marston's - Bass | 4.40 | Not Tried | |
| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Tiny Rebel - Billabong Aussie Pale Ale | 4.60 | Not Tried | |
| Celt Experience (now brands are owned by Evans Evans) - Golden Age | 4.20 | Not Tried |

The pub is found in Newport, Gwent, NP20 1JD.
Formerly Georgian House, an attractive town centre pub in Stow Hill which gives the appearance of being ancient but in fact was only established in 1995 when converted from restaurant to pub use. Occupies two formerly separate buildings, giving the slightly uneven floor plan. Various seating options, plus a garden to the rear.
We have visited this pub twice, seen 10 different beers and tried 4 of them.
