The New Merch
A cold and frosty start to the day. Costa and then The Kings Fee. Big Queues and a fallback to Doombar. The Beer House and lots of new Merch and Cloudwater 9th Birthday Ales. I certainly need more days in Hereford in 2024.
20240223 mb03 Day 01 Wrap
Starting with an icy roof on the car, then mist in Trethomas and finally semi sunny entering Hereford. As I got out of the car in the Travelodge carpark it started to rain. Sainsbury, then a Coffee in Costa and the standard Cask Ale and filled rolls in The Orange Tree.
It got very Pubby in the Beer In Hand with experimental hops and lots of dogs. I need to visit it more.
Snow On The Hills
But nothing on the roads, as it should be. Of course, no rain until I got out of the car in Hereford. Extended lunch in The Orange Tree. Casks Ales and filled rolls. Check in to the Travelodge and then it’s over to the Beer in Hand. For the first time since August 2021. A very Pubby and Dog friendly Micro and only really a Micro because of the Micro opening hours.

20240223 Prelude mb03 Hereford February 24
In a week of rain and now rain and cold. It’s only Beanos that keep me going. The A40 eastbound has now reopened, albeit just one lane. A later start means, travelling in daylight and not really missing out on much.
Big roadworks in Monmouth but no one seemed to be working. Dry until I parked up in Hereford and then it started to rain. Sainsbury, Costa and Cask Ale and Filled Rolls in The Orange Tree. All going to plan.
August’s Humid Last Gasp
As it already turns more Autumnal, it Spoons Full English and a Pint for Breakfast. Extra Butter but at no extra cost. Walking to the Hereford Beer House it was spotting and rather humid. Sitting in the corner of the Hereford Beer House was the most relaxing best of times. Fine Ales Plus.
20230826 mb11 Day 02 Wrap
Hearing on the radio that Bernie Marsden had died on Thursday. Listening to Mac OS Ken’s lack of advertising and signing up for his Patreon. Had an X like. Big queues for The Hereford Indie Food Festival and the weather has now turned mostly sunny. Great draft ales in the Hereford Beer House. End of the day hammering down.
Podcasting Times Are Hard
All rather grey and cool to start the day. Then it rained and by Spoons time it had cheered up. Was listening to the Mac OS Ken Podcast and it is shocking how empty his advertising schedule was going up to the new year. Signed up to his Patreon. Had an X like. The Hereford Beer House. Very Fine Ales and Great Beer talk. The sun shone.

The lack of valley street lights. Dawn with a touch of Autumnal mist. Cheaper Petrol and Costa. Limited Spoons menu, at least for a while. Back into the filled rolls routine. Cooling rain and a refurbished room.
