The birds were singing as I loaded up the car. Breakfast was a Scotch Egg minus the Egg. The M4 got really foggy when it became English. 4 Spoons Festival Ales and a Boneless Chicken Basket and then meeting Rickie and Eddie at The Waverley.

What happened on the first day of mb06 2025
A standard pleasant start to mb06. Costa breakfast and then a ice bucket arrive to the Bridge House. Evacuated when water started to gush from the ceiling. Finishing the pint in the beer garden. The Prince of Wales for the afternoon. Where I had my first £10.00 can of beer. Times are hard!

Of course it was a rainy start to this Easter Beano. Costa now opens at 07:00, which is a plus. Spoons was rather quiet early on, probably due to it being a wet Easter. Missing Top Plates. The Prince of Wales was Great. Great Welcome, Great Beers and Great Clientele.

Reformatting an SD card to start the day. Then a surprisingly light journey. An easy day on the knee and two 5.5% Fest Ales. The Filled Rolls are back and it was Rugby and discussions in The Hereford Beer House.

Really good to get back Beanoing. The M4 was horrible and when I got off at Junction 17, I got a mention on DTNS Live. Drizzling in Chippenham. The Bridge House £1.99 and Craft Cans. The Prince of Wales, Putty and a Glass. Happy Travelodge.

It was just turning light as I left home. However, it rained all the way to Gloucester, which was not forecast and Costa didn’t open until 08:00, despite what its website said. The Lord High Constable of England for Coffee and Beer, Bacon Butties and Diet Cupcakes.
The Gloucester Brewery Easter Beer Festival, blowy but dry. Cask and Keg in plastic glass but as plastic glasses go, not bad. The first band had a young lady playing a Les Paul, solid for Easter.
