British And Original Festbiers
Dark start. No street lights and 20 mph, Oh the joy. The traffic seemed much faster on the M4 today. The M5 was pleasant as dawn gently arrived. Extra Nectar points at the local Sainsbury and no Bacon Roll and Coffee breakfast deal at the Gloucester Quays Costa Coffee. A new carpet in The Lord High Constable of England.
The Brewhouse and Kitchen and falling asleep in Warehouse 4. Did I want a glass of water?
August’s Humid Last Gasp
As it already turns more Autumnal, it Spoons Full English and a Pint for Breakfast. Extra Butter but at no extra cost. Walking to the Hereford Beer House it was spotting and rather humid. Sitting in the corner of the Hereford Beer House was the most relaxing best of times. Fine Ales Plus.
Jugs and Coups
Begin the day with a Costa Cappuccino and Bacon Roll. A touch of Aircon too. A Jug in Spoons, didn’t ask for one, just happened. The Beer House with lots of fans. Fine times indeed.
Planned and Planning
When do you plan your departure so that you don’t get stuck with all the motorway traffic, that’s a quality plan. When you turn up at The Siren’s Call just after 13:00 and you see that they don’t open two until 16:00 on a Thursday. That’s a total lack of planning. Anyway, it was breakfast meal deal from Sainsbury’s and then straight into The Posset Cup for 08:00, some orange juice and some bottled water which was from Brecon. Then a couple of pints, a can and a Curry Thursday. It wasn’t so bad, anyway returned back to the Posset Cup for a pint of Doombar. Then checked in to the Premier Inn.
Pressure Warning Instead Of Coffee
It rained pre departure, it rained during the journey up and at my planned stop off to make some Coffee. When it stopped raining the tyre pressure warning came on. I stopped, the tyres were fine but it topped them off anyway. Newtown’s Tesco for a Full Mid Welsh. Parked up at the Elephant and Castle and into the local Spoons where I started on the Purple Moose.
ADSL #+ WiFi with a rather slow upload. Thinks improved greatly in the Sportsman but they have a limited cask selection of only two Wye Valley ales. However, they did have Salopian Beer Mats. The find of the day was the The Brew Hut, Coffee, Cask, Keg, Cans and Bottles. Fast uploads also. On the must revisit list, now.
In a New Vision World
I think Vision Pro will slowly change computing, meanwhile in Gloucester it was grey and cool again. Grey and cold. Both Gloucester Spoons and an afternoon of Fine Ales in The Pelican Inn.
There Will Be A 2023 Oktoberfest Gloucester
I knew there was going to be a cold wind to start but it was grey and cloudy and definitely not High Summer. I decided to stay on the Quays, because I am lazy and I wanted to shake things up about. Brewhouse and Kitchen scores very highly on customers service an CAMRA discount but not on the WiFi.
Warehouse 4 now has a sour but it only had a third left. Maybe 22p worth? Talked to a Manager who confirmed that Gloucester Brewery will be having an Oktoberfest in 2023. The Apple web store is down.
Debris On The Bridge
eaving early, delayed and stopped on The Second Severn Crossing while a Policeman swept up Debris. Into The Lord High Constable and starting with an Unique. Cheese and Onion Rolls and a Pint of Murk to start in The Pelican. Another semi Birthday Ale, this time half Norwegian at 12% ABV.
Coconut Non Birthday
The start of the 3rd day and there is still a cold wind. Into The Beefeater for the Premier Inn All You Can Eat Breakfast. Videoed it because Reddit amongst other things. A Sunday morning Pint in both The Lord High and The Regal. Another Non Birthday, Birthday Ale in The Pelican. This time a Coconut Stout. Then one with Verdant and finally a non Wiper and True but from a Social Enterprise.
Filled Rolls and Morris Men
A sunny start but again it’s chilly. Premier Inn Full English then back on the Bespoke Brewing at The Lord High Constable of England. Conwy Brewery in The Regal. Moving on to The Pelican in the strong Bank Holiday Sun. It was open when I arrived and there were Cheese and Onion Rolls on the Bar. Then a group of Morris Men arrived. I saw them later out in the beer garden Morris Dancing.
