Lots of damp Autumn weather on the journey down. Portishead was dark, dry and windy. Sainsbury’s for the later food and an Apple gift card. Bacon Butty and Coffee to start in The Posset Cup. The Cask Ales were Fine. The Port, FTTC, Great Ales and Great Staff. The Siren’s Calling with chips from next door and then the rains came. Great welcome in The Premier Inn and an extra free hour.

Different But The Same

Not keen on dark and wet starts to Mini Beanos, or lack of street lamps and 20mph speed limits either. Portishead started dry but windy. Sainsbury’s was friendly and the Spoons Bacon Butty hit the mark. You can’t beat Simcoe. Took a while to find the Port but it was well worth it. Fast FTTC too. The Siren’s Calling, Fine Bristol Ales and chips from the Chippy next door. And, then it rained. a lot.

Showery, chilly and dark, however, it is a quality Beano. Avoiding the 20mph M4 protests and loading up with sandwiches in Portishead Sainsbury. Bacon Butty and all you can drink Coffee before the bar opens. The rest of the itinerary as well.

The mb12 Journal – Gloucester September 2023

So no deal on Bacon Rolls and Coffee at the Costa Coffee next the The Gloucester Quays Premier Inn. Slightly scary at £7.55. Making it back by using as much of their WiFi as possible. Times are hard. 

Next to The Tank Craft Beer Bar, the Canal Bridge rises to let a narrow boat through. An interesting start to the day.

My first time at a Five Guys. Small chips are enough.

Inside of the The Pelican Inn and inside of Gloucester Brewery’s Warehouse 4 Sunday afternoon Oktoberfest.

Really impressed

Begin the day with a Premier Inn all you can eat Full English and wash it done with a Pint of Darwin’s Origin from Salopian at The Lord High Constable of English. Squeezing in between the two a new contact lens order. Boosting The New Media Shown and Podcasting 2.0 with Sats. Loaded up with food at Sainsbury’s and again extra Nectar points. Arrived early at Warehouse 4, a whole 7 minutes early. Too loud, getting old.

It’s over

The Sunday Oktoberfest

Start the day with a Premium Inn all you can eat Full English. The Tomato was intentionally left raw. The Lord High Constable of England had another Salopian Brew on Cask. Red October to start, nice and malty. The sun came out and the temperature went up. Did all the Festbiers and an Arbor too.
