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

07/03/2022 Leave a comment

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.

The Broken Lace Beano

That Feeling When you bought new laces the Saturday before and then they break just before your Beano starts.

for that matter. Will Pepsi please redesign their Cherry and Raspberry Pepsi Max bottles please. The only thing that looks like a Pepsi Max Bottle should be a Pepsi Max Bottle? Bagdy Conwy in England.

The Pelican where they subscribe to American Untappd Pubs and the Virgin Internet doesn’t like the rain. However it soon came back and the Fine Ales were very Fine. Good Days.

Frosty Foggy

No Bacon Rolls in Costa, Manager’s Special in The Regal. In the corner in The Pelican discussing Beer and Beer Festivals. Discussing weather, God and beer festivals. Then Electric Bear arrive. Burke Shelley passes. Pengy.

Where’s The Nitrogen?

Lots of confused weather and punters at the bar at The Regal wondering why their Creamflow isn’t very creamy. Me, renewing software licenses and taking tech support calls. Also, the UK is in Europe if not in the EU. HMS Belfast and the great people and ales in the Pelican Inn.

No Rain and 5G

Optimised Booking, Optimised departure, 5G on arrival but despite what it said on the door Costa Coffee was closed. So straight to the Lord High Constable of England. Gloucester Brewery’s Warehouse 4 is Awesome. Hats off to the Manager.
