It’s Guidance not Law
England has Plan B and Wales has Political Banter and a vague mask mandate. Caerphilly, Pontypridd and Treforest. More Festive Ales with silly names. Making the most of it while I still can.
Without a Bridge
A good start to the Beano with two unique pints in the Malcolm Uphill. Classic Public Service on the Stagecoach bus to Pontypridd. A great pint of Digger’s Gold by Grey Trees in The Rickards Arms in Treforest. Cask rising no doubt? Swarm App told me that I hadn’t been in The Otley Arms since January 2020. I raised a glass from Polly’s Brew Co to an Absent Friend. No Apple Pay but I’m coping like the wind. A great day and now with Tesco sarnies to finish.

Go Early and Avoid The Queues
The first Emergency Beano since the lockdown. It’s a Thursday so it’s a #CurryThursday and it drizzled. Just to Caerphilly as it’s still a bit tricky on the buses, however everyone wore masks. First in the Malcolm Uphill and the cask was all Welsh despite being somewhat limited. There were still queues mid morning to get into the Malcolm Uphill despite it not being a Rishi day. Filled my boots with a Jalfrezi and then caught the bus home. It was still drizzling then.
Even Shorter
January is a long month. Impecunious due to the early month Beano. Needed to do banking and shopping, so only a half beano with only two Fine Ales. Both uniques, so winning.
Free At The Bottom
More #mb01 training. This time half a day in The Malcolm Uphill, Caerphilly. Free Beer but only from the bottom of the cask. Still, Free Beer.
The Start of Ending
The unofficial Big Erz leaving and Welsh Language Team Christmas does. All a question of timing as the weather turned very spring like. If you look closely you may see Ty’s arm. Mostly at The Otley, Treforest.
Half A Beano
End of the year burnout, as all I wanted was a haircut and a half day in The Malcolm Uphill. There was a Curry Sale and an Imperial Stout. Mist to start.

Christmas sickness and why I don’t like Christmas. Christmas will be streamed and a mild Christmas. A new decade CES. Live from the Malcolm Uphill #Caerphilly #SaturdayWrap
Pre Beano Beano
When you are going on a Beano, #mb17 by the way. You can’t just go, you need training. That’s where the Malcolm Uphill #Caerphilly comes in. By the way, not all ciders are cider. Some are Festive Ales.
