Cheaper Petrol and Beer
06 January 2023
Back in the Beano saddle for 2023. The Beer House is only open on the Saturday (10% off for tagging them on Social Media), so it’s more of the Beer In Hand and The Orange Tree. Lots of Daily Tech News Show #CES2023 coverage on the way up.

And just across the road, a sign that I shouldn’t have filled up before I left. 2023 is going to be one of those years.

Things started to look up when I was given an app voucher for a hot drink in Costa Coffee tomorrow.

The Town Centre and on the way to The Kings Fee (Wetherspoon)


99p a Pint for Guest Ales. Helps with the Post Christmas spending.

Moving on to The Orange Tree, in need of Cobs.


Might, actually completely over did it with two cobs.

Opens at 12:00, seven days a week. Classic Pub.
That was… Beer 2022

Cold, Snow and Festive – Cwrw17 December 2022
Had to use my backup bus as the Graig-y-Rhacca bus yet again didn’t show up. Caerphilly at just above freezing but still had a lot more snow than Bedwas. A Festive Mice Pie and a Pint of Cwrw to start the day in The Malcom Uphill. And then it all got Hazy in the form of Hazy Jane. Downhill all the way once I reached Brew Monster. Some Discord live chat too.

The mb13 Journal – Hereford November 2022
This really is a lot of odds and stuff. Christmas lights, me burbling on, beer, chips and festive lights. The true spirit of Beanoing.
20221127 mb13 Day 03 Wrap
2 for 2 as both contact lenses go straight in. Tweets of German Smoke Biers get you great Twitter stats. Another sign of Christmas, the 2023 Radio Users guide is out and now ordered. No mince pies in The Kings Fee, however a Manager’s Special saves the day. The TV remote control for the TV opposite me goes missing, so it’s the World Cup on the iPad Mini. Tesco you need more people on the tills and self service is unreliable. Big German, Malty start in the Hereford Beer House. And then it’s over.
The Missing Mince Pie
DH Unplugged and not quite the Lazy Beano model, despite it being a later start due to it being Sunday. So the start is in The Kings Fee. Orange Juice but a World Shortage of Mince Pies. Also they have lost the remote control for the TV opposite me, so I’m watching the World Cup on my iPad Mini. The Hereford Beer House, big German, Malty start.
