Railway Inn, Upper Killay

Our host decided we (a Yank couple) needed to earn our beer, so we hiked up a lovely trail to The Railway Inn. Well worth the trudge, we enjoyed a number of excellent ales, a charming hostess and a welcoming group of locals. We returned for another visit two days later and had a great time. Not sure if our visit would have been the same without the good cheer and drinking ability of our Abertawe-born host, but I assume so. My only complaint is that the Welsh uniformly assume we Yanks are still reduced to drinking lagers and "light" swill at home. I don't think we convinced anyone otherwise but rest assured, we do have exceptional craft breweries here in the states!
