Markdown Curry Thursday

04/10/2019 Leave a comment

The practice day for #MB14 the Gloucester Brewery Oktoberfest. Suffering from lack of Motorway lights, computer systems that don’t talk and smokers that don’t close doors. However, some rather different Fine Ales, MacSparky’s Markdown guide and some Topcashback cashback. All ready for some Fine German Oktoberfest Ales tomorrow. It’s a drizzly end to the day.

The International Rainbow Project 2019

The last Beer House Beano of Summer or Indian Summer 2019 #mb13. A dark journey in, cool to start and then it got up to 24c, the Beer House Front Door was wide open. The star of the day was The International Rainbow Project 2019. UK and USA brewers producing some wonderful ales and the pump clips are all the colours of the rainbow. Going to put that down for a revisit next day. Good times that pass very quickly. Hello Autumn with your Yellow Rain Warning.

Saturday Wrap – 21 September 2019

#mb13 and a Pre Booked Hereford Beer House at 10:00. A sweet Pixel 3a Android 10 upgrade. Why I’m skipping iOS 13.0 and Apple are turning in Microsoft with point zero releases. Micro Pubs, why they are disparate and niche and wonderful. Live from Costa Coffee, Hereford #Saturdaywrap

Lolffest7 – 03 August 2019

11/08/2019 Leave a comment

There is something about Lolffest or in this case Lolffest7. It’s a roughly quarterly beer festival at Bragdy Twt Lol, on the Treforest Industrial Estate in South Wales. Bragdy is Welsh for Brewery so if you are an English speaker, so of the spellings may look unusual.

A Costa Capp and Bacon Roll to start

Then of course my local Spoons, The excellent Malcolm Uphill in Caerphilly. Got to do a bit of prep of Lolffest doesn’t start until 12:00

And yes I’m early

It’s only about a 20 minute bus ride to The Treforest Industrial Estate. Get off at The Pottery. Go down the road between The Pottery and The QED Centre, cross the bridge and it’s 200m on the left hand side.

There is a sign too

Take a photo of the nut they said. I had no idea it was Aluminium.

Mostly to keep the flies out

Getting there early gets you the pick of the seats, or in this case casks. Of course I ended up in the corner.

The fridge magnets are bottle openers too. Two Quid to you Guvnor. Pretty Fly For A Magpie was the pick of the Fine Ales. The oversize glass is a winner too.

Hoppy, fruity and refreshing.

It did however rain on the way home. The Great British Summer of course.
