Beers Of The Beano – Saturday 30 May 2026
The Project, Caerphilly, their birthday party. Lots of Vault City sours and, on the food front, barbecue chicken on skewers with dirty fries. The aircon was lovely. Hats off to The Project and Happy Birthday.
Beers Of The Beano – Saturday 16 May 2026
When May is rather wet and not very early summery, it’s time to revisit pubs that you haven’t been to since June 2021. The Rickards. What a great place that is. Twt Lol Lollfest glasses and Grey Trees beer. Then on to the Otley, where I got waved at. Still haven’t fixed the WiFi though, but the beers are really rather good. Nearly lost my bus pass as well.

Being back in the game, despite the buses. Another pub lost. Cask that should have rested for longer and maybe rather warmer. Upload resolution and a Sunny Saturday.

Beers Of The Beano – Saturday 13 December 2025
When your beer is so thick and wonderful, that you can’t get it out of the can. And it was mostly dry too.
