£2.00 For Christmas
A Full English, then a 360 video outside the Malvern Premier in. I got a Taxi and it was so much easier. My driver is saying £2.00 a litre for Diesel at Christmas. I think he may be correct. The Alcohol Duty freeze has been scrapped but the mainstream media are not saying when it will be implemented. Two new Mayorships in a day. And Untappd stats.
Long And Hilly
A later but light start, park up and find the Foley Arms. I did that but it was a 45 minute walk from the Premier Inn and it was mostly uphill. The Foley Arms is a Spoons Hotel, note for Future. Really busy, awesome staff. Festival Ales still in excellent condition. Moving on to The Weavers Real Ale House, just around the corner from the Foley Arms. Cask, Keg, Cans and very fast FTTC WiFi.

mb10 2022 Gloucester Oktoberfest Candid Journal
Lots of odds, video of food containers without commentary, tech beer and despite what I said, lighting.
Networks Just Don’t Work
WiFi won’t connect, VPN drops, Ultimate WiFi isn’t and only just 5G signal. It’s the last day of #mb10. There’s a fresh cask of Cowcatcher on at the Regal and it’s drinking well. The Turks Head has cheese and onion rolls everyday of the week. I need more pubs like this. Installing the Pixel 6a security updates in The Pelican. Tech, beer and travel.
Squirrel Politics Monday
So either the cold is back or maybe it’s a hangover, I’m going with both. So, it was a late start and there were Squirrels everywhere. The Regal has lost its three planes, so it’s just King Kong left. Politics Monday and the 45% tax rate is to remain. The Regal really is good at keeping cask ale. The Turks Head, a great Land Lady and cask ales. Even faster WiFi in The Pelican and still a great selection of Fine Ales.
The Last Day and Maybe February
It may be raining back home but it’s cool, calm and dry in Gloucester, well at least for now. Watching the world go by in The Lord High Constable Of England. And the Sunday is much quieter and for me much better. A February Winter? Who knows? Salt appears.
Oktoberfest in October
Tech Beer Beanos often mean that even when you get up early you are running late. Faster upload speeds would help here. The Saturday Wrap from The High Constable Of England with for the first time, additional lighting. Brewhouse and Kitchen for 10:00 only to discover that the bar doesn’t open until 11:00. Nice Coffee though. So, running out of Festbiere and truncated video due to live music and and similar. Packed out on a Saturday afternoon.
The First Hat Wearing Since 2019
The first Gloucester Oktoberfest since 2019 and the hat is back in action. Apart from the peasouper on the Severn Bridge there were pretty patches of mist on the way to Gloucester. Someone, blow drying their hair set the Fire Alarm off at Premier Inn Gloucester Quays. Costa Coffee and The Lord High Constable of England for the Prelude. It rained, the Internet went down in Warehouse 4 but I had a positive attitude and genuine Okoberfest Biers. Back tomorrow and Sunday for more, also I had Chips and Sauerkraut.
