Was in the Hop yesterday afternoon followed by a visit to the Wellington. Significant preference for the latter although I can understand why the Hop will also be popular amongst real ale drinkers.

Oh nice one mate. Glad you finally got across here, hope you had a great afternoon. If it's not been nosey, what led you across bud? Yeah that's fair comment, the surroundings in Wellington are better really (e.g. love all the overseas beer bottles on the walls! ), what did you sample? Pleased for you that both were open actually because I wasn't sure what the opening times are.
Superb anyway, there's more to explore in the city centre though don't forget (I mean if you're here for a longer time) like Oscars and Walters in the old town, + Minera on the marina.

Hey did you have any trouble finding them by the way mate? (I mean with them both been quite tucked out of the way).

Morning everyone btw.

Came over on a last minute whim

Had a Potbelly Beijing Black in the Welly (which didn't open until 4pm).

No bother at all.

Ah nice one, glad to hear mate. Hey forgot to mention there's also some gems on Newland Avenue and Princes Avenue. Really looking forward to tommorow, not been out for a couple of weeks, probably longest spell since started F/T uni 6 years ago.
