We popped into the bar on Penarth high street to sample a pint or two. If, like me, you like craft ales you'll love this place. They have seven very different, quirkily named ales on draft. We started with pints and I soon wished I had a halves so I could have tried all seven. "when the sun goes down", a hazy IPA was our first choice. And from the first mouthful I could tell it was going to be a good afternoon. But at 6% vol it's powerful stuff so drinking needed to be paced to avoid any of the unfortunate pitfalls heavy drinking can provide. I also tried "size of a cow" a "milkshake" IPA. WOW! It was unlike any beer I had ever tasted. If beer milkshake sounds a bit off putting, push those thought to the back of your mind. This stuff is heavenly! I wish I had bought some home.

Read moreAttended the Crafty Devil Cellar's new menu launch this evening and I wasn't disappointed. The Shroom burger was a triumph, full of flavour and the perfect accompaniment to their Safe As Milk coffee milk stout. I've also been to their Cellar in Canton and both venues offer a great atmosphere for drinking with friends and the bar staff are always friendly and well informed when it comes to advising on the perfect tipple. Needless to say their range of crafts are among the best around. If you're looking for the best independent brew houses in and around Cardiff, Crafty Devil is up there with...
