Still confused by Costa’s opening time. Saturday Fast Wrap. Sunny. Green cans and bottles. Sunny and good times. Whilst I still can and excess toothpaste.

20210827 mb02 Day 03 Wrap
Trust the Internet not doors. The Gloucester Brewery Video. Hazy Jane in Hereford. Lemon hand wipes. Beer House Ronaldo joy. German branded glass aplenty. Even Earthenware. Good things never last.
Later In The Day
Does Costa Coffee know what time that they actually open? First the Internet was wrong and know the doors are wrong and the Internet is right. Anyway, Spoons do rather good hanging baskets. A pint of Pepsi Max and a lump of Lime to start.
The onion rings now come with a lemon hand wash towel. And there were two trainee guide dogs that came in for a rest.
The Beer House is overwhelmed with excitement about Ronaldo going to United. Fine Ales and Football match up with each other so well. For me it’s a Märzen in the correct branded glass. And Ronaldo has now signed while I am drinking a landbier. Fine Glassware and even the exact Earthenware. Things don’t get better than this.

Driving in the light, Costa fast upload, Spoons slightly before 08:00, multiple train tickets, late Welsh trains, busy railway breweries and The Beer in Hand.

Brewing By The Railway
Grey but mild and only two spaces left in the Travelodge car park. Happy Costa Bacon and Coffee to start the day. The Kings Fee where they are testing the new Chicken menu. Different train apps and very different ways of working. However FTTC, so Winning there.
Of course the Transport for Wales Class 175 was late however the Ludlow Brewery is only 100 yards from the Station. Traditional in outlook, however Cask forward and with Derailed brewing as their Keg subsidiary.
Of course the train was late returning to Hereford. Checking into my overnighter and then did some work work. Back out to The Beer in Hand Hereford. Excellent beer retreat but needs WiFi and to open earlier. Well past my bed time.
#mb02 2021 Prelude
The end of August and the Bank Holiday weekend and I’m only on #mb02. Cooler morning but Summer is most certainly back. Hereford, Ludlow and Worcester and many Fine Ales. Grey but dry. It was an early morning yesterday.
Embrace The Opaque
Commercial Street Newport Costa Coffee still not open at 07:00, despite what the Costa Website says. However the Costa at the station opens at 06:00 and the lady behind the counter was excellent. Started in The John Wallace Linton, where the Hazy Jane (my Breakfast Beer of choice) was in plentiful supply.
The Pen And Wig (Newport – Dog Friendly) for 10:02. The joy of it being back to the way it was pre Rhona, Cask and Citra to boot.
Chip shops can be tricky on a Monday, so it was Plan B and 50p more to boot. However a good sized portion and just around the corner from Tiny Rebel.
Speaking of which. In the corner by the power and now next to the organic back wall. Nothing better than slowly drinking the afternoon away. Solid Monday.
