Cheaper and Free
The first Beano of the year and the Petrol is much cheaper in Hereford and I win a Costa reward for a free hot drink. Spoons January Sale means the Guest Ales are only 99p a Pint. Nothing like that “Here in Wales”. The Orange Tree, late Cobs arrival. However Fine Cask Ales. Two Cobs are really filling, aren’t they?
Cheaper Petrol and Beer
06 January 2023
Back in the Beano saddle for 2023. The Beer House is only open on the Saturday (10% off for tagging them on Social Media), so it’s more of the Beer In Hand and The Orange Tree. Lots of Daily Tech News Show #CES2023 coverage on the way up.

And just across the road, a sign that I shouldn’t have filled up before I left. 2023 is going to be one of those years.

Things started to look up when I was given an app voucher for a hot drink in Costa Coffee tomorrow.

The Town Centre and on the way to The Kings Fee (Wetherspoon)


99p a Pint for Guest Ales. Helps with the Post Christmas spending.

Moving on to The Orange Tree, in need of Cobs.


Might, actually completely over did it with two cobs.

Opens at 12:00, seven days a week. Classic Pub.

The first Mini Beano of 2023 and the usual January issue of closed pubs. Redone my schedule and I think I have got it beat. Too dark for optimised departure, obviously. A windy start at home and a calm and cooler arrival in Hereford. It’s good to be Beanoing in 2023.

20220112 mb01 Day 04 Wrap
A foggy and frosty start with Bacon Rolls back in Costa. Ordered another AirTag, collect on Friday. A sessionable start. Boris doesn’t resign. Beryl not for the Premier Inn. Copy ’em faster and supported but UI isn’t as good. 13P much better cameras and battery life. Must return in February. Read The Tippler. Read Tippler.
DT: Wednesday Night Updates
Frosty Foggy
The Bacon Rolls are back in Costa. Weather cold, frosty and a little foggy. A sessionable start in The Regal. Streaming PMQs. Sessionable start in The Pelican. Collabs to follow. CAMRA members being trained.

Costa Coffee are out of Bacon Rolls. There was a Managers Special in The Regal. Burke Shelley passes. Pelican Beer Fest in February. Pengy tweets. Politics.

No Bacon Rolls in Costa, Manager’s Special in The Regal. In the corner in The Pelican discussing Beer and Beer Festivals. Discussing weather, God and beer festivals. Then Electric Bear arrive. Burke Shelley passes. Pengy.
