Prelude – Beers and Ciders Of The Beano – Saturday 05 July 2025

After the heatwave, the very rainy Saturday. The penultimate day of The Wetherspoon’s Cider and Perry Festival. Drinking local with Gwynt y Ddraig Fiery Fox. Dangerously drinkable at 6.5% ABV. I’m mostly complaining about the weather.

Amber weather warning for the east of England. Caerphilly, grey and drizzly. Rather Fine Beer List at The Project Caerphilly. Happy Aircon and Mesh WiFi too.

A double prelude, today’s beers and mb05 in Gloucester. The Ales are more expensive and could have spent so more time in the cellar. These things happen.

Was only a half day Beano in The Malcolm Uphill. However, after some emergency early morning packing, there will be a Project visit. Starting #mb05 tomorrow with a week off to follow.

Hybrid Beano, Cucumber and Tomato plants, planted outside. Cans from Sainsbury’s while listening to Daily Tech News Show Breifing and Live. Then off to The Project in Caerphilly. Weather, overcast with a hint of damp in the air.

A stay at home Beano with a four for the price of three haul from Sainsburys in Portishead. The weather forecast says continuous showers from mid morning and it’s already looking that way. Podcasts and Fine Ales on Bank Holiday Monday.

Beanoing at home.

A double prelude, the standard Beers of The Beano and mb04 2025 in Portishead. Premier Inn, The Posset Cup, The Port Bar and Sidney & Eden. Maybe the odd bit of the FA Cup as well?
