Spoons Spring Beer Festival 2023
So it must be Spring as we have gone past both the St David’s Day and The Spring Equinox, however the weather is still like February. What makes it really Spring is The Wetherspoon’s Spring Beer Festival and that starts on 22 March 2023. So it’s off to Cardiff for the maximum number of Wetherspoons. Plus my Oldies Bus Pass has arrived.
After a Costa Bacon Roll and Coffee, it was straight in to The Gatekeeper. That Belgian Flag was calling me and straight off it was a B++ and 1 Sat per minute on the Fountain App.
Then along comes Spring Break from Greene King and who knew, a really rather nice fruity, malty Golden Ale
Moving on to The Central Bar, where people go for a Full English in Cardiff. Strangely the Fest Ales are unmarked and just look like standard Guest Ales.
Vincent and Blind Jack. The Central Bar is sessionable central.
And then it got all Old School and Swiss. It’s been a long time since I have been to the Ernest Willows.
Reeds Ale from Sudwerk in Switzerland, brewed at Adnams in Suffolk. All really malty
And to finish the day.
