So PIA got back to me with mixed results. The Knights Templar opens at 08:00 on a Sunday but the bar opens at that time. Live Bug in the eye and broken contact. Moor Beer Closed. Kveik. A review of the Firebreak and Wales wants more than Plan B. Christmas shaky.

Wind Down Sunday

So the Spoons website said it was open at 06:30 but it actually wasn’t open until 08:00. Who knows with the Rhona. It 07:30 it was closed, however the WiFi reached out into the Beer garden. And testing of PIA with the Cloud has been successful so far. Turns out the bar at The Knights Templar opens at 08:00.

Moor Beer is closed on a Sunday, a Creepy Crawley got in my and I ripped my contact lens getting it out. I am making new plans like the wind. Raining.

So I went to LHG and had two, including one with Kveik Yeast. I pushed off when it filled out. I tried looking in The Barley Mow but that was full to the rafters. There mb05 ended.

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.
