I’ve been keen to visit this taproom at Tiny Rebel’s brewery for some time, so trying to ignore the torrential downpour of rain we headed on inside.
There was a friendly welcome from the team member at the door, with the whole arrangement feeling ordered and well managed.
I had, to be honest, expected a slightly wider range of beers and I struggled to find something that I hadn’t had before. However, the team member behind the bar was patient and we worked out the three beers that I’d have one third of a pint of each.
The venue served food and I was very tempted by the pizza and burger options, but I was conscious that we were probably best to get to our hotel in Cardiff and then head out.
The three beers that I went for were (from left to right):
(i) Rebel IPA – this was clean, crisp and a little unexciting.
(ii) Neon Drift – this was much more exciting, fruity, rich and slightly complex.
(iii) Electric Boogaloo, the only one of these that I’ve had before – passion fruit finish, with a pleasant tropical taste.
I very much liked how comfortable, clean and organised it was here. The team members were friendly, it had a laid-back environment, but I would have liked to see a little more decadence in terms of the beer options although it might be that Tiny Rebel is more concentrating on their core range now.
I’m very pleased that we visited and as a little extra bonus, it had nearly stopped raining by the time we left ready to embark on the next part of the journey.
