Of Apple and Eggs
Mostly Apple kit. A Beano where you want to start early and review Full English. Yes, The Kings Head have Eggs and extra butter is no problem. I had to defrost the car and it was only just getting light as I arrived. Two Festive Ales on at The Kings Head and at £2.29 a Pint, that’s not too shabby. Two of the regional ales and I didn’t move on. I even saw a bit of the Rugby. Wales lost.
Bonfire Night Saturday Beer Musings
The Little Tap House on Baneswell Road is opening on the 18/19 November. Coffee House, Craft Beer and Geeky Gaming. Wobbly Bob in The Larry Linton, a 6% cracker to start the day. High Hops inspired by High Hopes, Tweet sent. The Pen & Wig, Newport, Real Ale, Newport Central. Tiny Rebel Newport, Punter WiFi, almost 200MB symmetrical.
Bristol Beer Factory Tap Takeover Tiny Rebel Newport
A rainy start as you would expect in Newport. Getting there early to get some pre opening (11:00) training in. Well, at 08:10 there was cleaning going on at Tiny Rebel’s Newport Bar but no sign of any Bristol Beer Factory Ales. So onward to The John Wallace Linton for some training.

£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.

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.
