Price War hits Newport Pubs

In a battle in which the consumer will be a winner, the pubs of Newport appear to be having a price war between themselves with the Carpenters, run by the JW Bassett Pub Company clearly in the lead for the cheapest pint at £1.75 for Felinfoel beer.
Cheaper than both the JD Chaverspoons pub, the John Wallace Linton and the Page, the dreadful offering from Barracuda Pub Company who seem to have a policy of employing staff who were so bad they were given the push by 'Spoons, the Carpenters has uplifted the pub scene in Newport since it reopened this year after being closed for a couple of years. Also the WiFi in the Carps' is faster and better than the Cloud offering in 'Spoons though a friend of mine did see someone watching what was described as a jiggy jiggy movie on a laptop in the 'Spoons the other day.
Elsewhere in Newport the best pub in the City, the Murenger has Sam Smiths OBB on for £1.99 a pint whilst on Stow Hill, the Pen & Wig is doing guest beers for a promotional price of £2.00 a pint, with Ruddles County and Wadworth 6X being seen on the bar recently.
So all in all it's a good time for the consumer with all this price cutting, just wondering how many pubs will be putting up their prices for the Ryder Cup when it is hosted in Newport later this year?

For those of you not familiar with Newport, here is a promotional video of the City (Cheers Mr Raybould for the link):

Carpenter's Arms, Newport

Always good to see a pub reopen after an extended period of closure and the Carpenter's Arms in Newport is a welcome change to the usual shit holes that masquerade as City Centre pubs in Newport. Run by the JW Bassett Pub Company, who also run the Queens Vaults in Cardiff and the Golden Egg in Kilburn, yes a Welsh pub in Kilburn, the Carpenters offers 3 real ales, all from the Felinfoel Brewery. The first outlet for Felinfoel Brewery in Newport for, well, apart from the odd appearance as a guest beer, ever? Three real ales are on tap, Double Dragon 4.2% and two house beers, also brewed by Felinfoel: Liquid Metal 4.3% and Carpenters 1403 at 3.9%. All at £1.89 with the 1403 £1.49/pint until 1700hrs! Good value menu available until 2100hrs. For those keg tickers out there Thatchers Gold is available alongside Old Hand 4.1% lager and Black Arts 4% Stout. Quite a good pint as well, good jukebox, with an emphasis on rock music. Can see myself using this pub more often! A Felinfoel outlet in Newport!
