The Cardiff branch of this microbrewery chain is housed in the listed facade of the old Westgate St., Art Deco garage. Formerly a car park and Taxi office. A much more interesting use, particularly as the former covering of white paint has been stripped away from the facade to reveal the detail. Mike Packwood (a learned connoisseur of Cardiff located hostelries, now based in the fine city of Liverpool) and I often used to muse on the possibilities of turning this building into a bar. I believe we thought the best name would have been "bar...code" or perhaps Bar-mitzvah or somesuch idiot styling.

Wave your small blue sheep with pride!

There's no stigma attached, only a puncture repair kit. (No really there is a repair kit for er, over excitable Bluebird fans).

Watched an excellent gig with David, Carl and Simon, Wedding Present at the Point. The Point is about the best venue around at the moment in Cardiff. The sound was good from about the third song in, they played the entire George Best album. About the fifth time I've seen them play. Gedge was on form. Some pics I took are on Flickr.
