Rain and German Lager
With some gentle overnight rain which will be good for the garden back home. Sometimes you can’t get your disposal contact lenses in. Sometimes you can’t get your MBP to play well with a piece of beta software. I need a M2 MBA. Spoons for a Full English. Imperial for out of the rain. Hereford Beer House for sours and a German Lager testing session. Somewhat excellent.
The Joy of the Return
A frosty car roof and front wind screen, that’s how #mb06 started. Twilight, then dawn and some mist for the journey to Hereford. Hereford had more frost ands breakfast was in a new Costa Coffee. Coffee and a Bacon roll, of course. Recording and uploading video in The Kings Fee, while drinking cask ale. The Hereford Beer House is now run by a Welshman, still miss Jonny though. However it’s very good and I met Daisy the Cat.

The First Full Day
It’s still rather blowy. To The Regal via the Skateboard Park (apparently). In training for the first full day of The Pelican Inn Winter Beer Festival (in March). Discovery that Untappd has cask and nobody moves when the Wetherspoons fire alarm goes off. Packed in the Pelican even before the Fest starts at 17:00 Next fest 09 June.
Blowy Studio Locker and Brasso
A solid hour of reality distortion. Paper bag in the locker. The Lord High Constable of England and a Full English. PMQs and a Quantock Gose. Cleaning the pumps with Brasso and filling the Untappd.
Peek Locker Power
From mb04 50 mb05 not via the M5. An Anker power supply delivered to my Premier Inn. Pre Winter Beer Festival in The Pelican. Sunny but blowy. Great condition in The Regal. Pump Clips a frenzy in The Pelican Inn.
Mostly Cask Monday
A Costa in a Tesco, forgetting crisps for a meal deal again and a fruit based drink to start in Spoons. Using a CAMRA 50p off voucher for the first time in two years. And ending up in the Queen Vic.
A Year Late For The Book Festival
So it rained up to turning off the M5. The Premier Inn is next to a large Tesco and Costa Coffee. Ten minutes to the town centre and 40 minutes to the Stroud Brewery both by foot. The local Spoons is very friendly but they are having cellar issues. However the chance to have a last pint from the now closed Woods Brewery. Good job I booked a table at the Stroud Brewery. It certainly is a popular place and fast symmetrical WiFi to boot.
Back To The Warehouse
Feeling rather strange, however Doombar had no adverse effect. It’s a short hop across the bridge from The Lord High Constable of England to Warehouse 4. New SSID in Warehouse 4, just a password, which is good. Lovely smell of malt, as it a brewing day.
Pleasant Winter Walking
A Rene Ritchie edited Day 01 video. I need a faster Mac. The Costa App is still very confusing and a pleasant walk to The Regal, for February that is. Ales from 08:00 and FTTC WiFi speeds and then Erich gets the Rhona. Here in Wales. Chuck gets it for the second time. More Beer Festivals scheduled for The Pelican.
