I popped into the Pen & Wig in Newport yesterday (Saturday 26 October 2013) to have a quick and it was packed out.
I knew that mine host Richard Jackson (below) was selling up but I didn't realise that it would be this soon and also that the pub is closing for a week while the new owner takes over.
And the reason to pop into the Pen & Wig, superior beer.
And my pint for the day from my Untappd review
DOBS Best Bitter - Exe Valley Brewery - 4.1% ABV. Good bitter, slightly lacking in finish B+ #ale #beer #bier

And what will happen in the future to the Pen & Wig, who can tell? However, one thing is for certain, Richard Jackson will be sorely missed.
