WiFi on Monday
As the cold lingers on and the weather is rather spring like, it’s time to test out the Brew Monster Tap in Cardiff. Next to the Goat Major, very Tap like. Great Welcome, The Simpsons on the TV, excellent Ales but not cheap. The WiFi arrives on Monday.
For Saturday 04 January 2020
In the with new and out with the old. Pump fix, lingering cold, Curry Stains, new Mac App and goodbye Big Erz. Live from the Gatekeeper #Cardiff #SaturdayWrap
Strange GMT Feeling Beano
Yellow rain warning, Yellow wind warning and sodden in the Malcolm Uphill. England lost in the Rugby, I got on the Penarth Flyer in the Sun. Head of Steam and Beelzebubs and the rain was back. Dorothy’s chip and it was rush to The City Arms to avoid getting sodden again. Early return home and there was minor flooding in Wood Street #Cardiff
A Sporting Belgian
Autumn (The Fall) hit’s the beautiful Lower Rhymney Valley with only the first day as an Indian Summer. Cardiff where only Wetherspoons have sensible opening times (says me). Ending up in The Head of Steam where the live Untappd feed is only upstairs now. Belgian low alcohol ales and it is as good as the full fat. Power and USB sockets all over. It didn’t rain.

The Not Quite a Pub Crawl – Part III
I have just noticed how many of my posts have “Not Quite” in the title and here’s another one. The plan is to finish off my Central Cardiff blogging but as I said last time, I fear it will need another one. And then there is the suburbs, busy times.
Cardiff Castle just after the rain had stopped
The Gatekeeper Cardiff – rear entrance
Not Ponty prices
Starting in The Gatekeeper (again), if for no other reason than the bar opens at 08:00. I was slightly late.
It used to be a Porno Cinema
The classic Cardiff “Let’s have one here before we go on to ….” Pub. Note the Dragons on the roof.
And it filled up as I was sitting there drinking my bottle of Chimay Red with Elton John fans, having several before going to see him in The Cardiff City Stadium tonight.
Brains Bitter (light), weaker (tax) but fruitier than I remember. Great Barmaid here.
Cricket, Football and Fine Cardiff brewed Craft Ales
Ex Small Bar, Beelzebubs is Crafty Devil’s main Cardiff Bar. Great Ales and superior WiFi.
Clean hands healthy beer. Works for me.
The Hopbunker – The best below ground Pub in Cardiff
It all turned into a Murky Saturday and it’s warmer underground.
And it’s all very walkable
