LolFest X – Thunderstorms & Buses
So you have an app for the buses which shows you if they are running late. What it doesn’t do is show you if they are cancelled. I just shows you that they are running on time and they just never arrive. Public transport isn’t really for the Public. Prepping in The Malcolm for the first LolFfest since December 2019. In the meantime Storm Dennis flooded the brewery and The Rhonda shut it down.
Anyway it rained, it Thundered and it Lightninged. Three UK had installed 5G locally and I arrived 30 minutes early. However I was able to bag my favourite seat in the corner. At least until the live music started. The Beers were great and I also came away with a hoodie. Apparently there’s another LolFfest in August. Good times.

Still blowy, The Skateboard Park, Onion Router installs, Ignoring the Fire Alarm in Spoons, Cask on Untappd, Ticking and Cheering smashed glasses, 09 June. #mb05
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.

Costa Coffee are out of Bacon Rolls. There was a Managers Special in The Regal. Burke Shelley passes. Pelican Beer Fest in February. Pengy tweets. Politics.

Starbucks with whipped cream, slow uploads, Saturday Morning Football Pubs, Fest Ales running short, Top Taprooms, A glass and a Foodtruck. PIA get back to me.
Another Saturday Taproom
It’s been ages since I have used the Starbucks app and I still had some credit on it, which was a plus. The barcode scanning method seems more effective too. We need faster Internet, whether it is mobile, fixed or Public WiFi. It’s interfering with my Festival drinking. Bristol Rovers are at home to Newport County and the Commercial Rooms is full of Rovers fans. The Stillage and the bar cask Festival Ales are beginning to run dry.
So you go looking for a joint Taproom (via Google Maps) and you fine a Left Handed Giant Taproom. Great Ales and Glasses and I come away with a glass in a well wrapped Box. Great customer service. Just around the corner is the Newtown Park / Verdant Tamproom. Solid brews and a mobile van Chicken Sandwich. Didn’t rain.
