It used to a Full English was an essential part of a Mini Beano. Lately I have flip flopped over them. There’s nothing wrong with them but sometimes I just don’t fancy them. By the way, Premier Inn seem to have got rid of their conveyor belt toasters. Standard toasters are now in.  My Taxi Driver is saying £2.00 a litre for Diesel at Christmas. I fear he is correct.  Mornings in Spoons, Oldies getting together and discussing the World.  The Price Freeze on Fine Ales is reversed. Mayorships gained at both The Foley Hotel and Weavers Real Ale House. Taxi back.

Various odds from this Autumn mini beano. Thoughts, tech, beer and food. Casual and unrehearsed.

£2.00 For Christmas

A Full English, then a 360 video outside the Malvern Premier in. I got a Taxi and it was so much easier. My driver is saying £2.00 a litre for Diesel at Christmas. I think he may be correct. The Alcohol Duty freeze has been scrapped but the mainstream media are not saying when it will be implemented. Two new Mayorships in a day. And Untappd stats.

It’s good driving at dawn when the roads are quiet, the odd spot of mist too.  The M50 and DH Unplugged.  Then cross country and the roads became narrower and narrower. The Premier Inn looks nice but it is a 45 minute walk away from Spoons. Thinking taxi. Spoons, The Foley Arms is a Hotel and has blisteringly fast FTTC. Maybe stay there next time?  The Beer Fest continues. The Weavers Real Ale House, cask, keg, fridge and fast FTTC.

A later but light start, park up and find the Foley Arms.  I did that but it was a 45 minute walk from the Premier Inn and it was mostly uphill. The Foley Arms is a Spoons Hotel, note for Future. Really busy, awesome staff. Festival Ales still in excellent condition.  Moving on to The Weavers Real Ale House, just around the corner from the Foley Arms. Cask, Keg, Cans and very fast FTTC WiFi.

A new place, Great Malvern and a relaxed Sunday journey up. A 90 minute journey up and a Premier Inn just on the edge of town. Late start, mostly travelling in the light. Aiming for a Gentle Beano. Update, 45 minute work from the Premier Inn to Spoons. Getting a taxi tomorrow.

Right There by The Station

28 June 2019

From an Ancient Book I took a clue, well actually it was Retired Martin’s Blog again. Happening to already being in Hereford, home of the wonderful Hereford Beer House It was just a couple of taps on The Transport For Wales Rail app and I was on my way.

Hereford Railway Station. A ten minute walk from Wetherspoons

Yes despite being in England, Hereford Station is run by Transport for Wales. You have to feel sorry for them.

Transport for Wales Class 175 DMU
Still in Arriva Trains Wales Colours

However I got a seat and the aircon was working unlike the journey back.

Ludlow Railway Station

Not the largest of Railway Stations but at least it had a carpark. It’s on the edge of town. Across the road from Tesco and Aldi.

The Ludlow Brewery next to Ludlow Railway Station.
Drinking already in progress at 10:23

I had no idea that there was a Brewery next to the station and that it was open from 10:00. Twattery already in progress, always a good sign.

Nicely cool inside, great welcome, fast non captive portal WiFi and the toilets are clean. Marked down for a return visit. An excellent fine. Plenty of merch too.

Ludlow Brewery Opening Times

Handily it’s open seven days a week. Anyway onward.

The Rose and Crown. Ludlow Town Centre.

The Rose and Crown, an Old School Real Ale Pub in the town centre. A couple pints of cask and some Friday lunch. Ham, Eggs and Chips obvs.

Great Pub, so so WiFi.

The Church Inn just around the corner. More of a Gastropub and it may be The Ludlow Brewery Tap?

Back to The Ludlow Brewery as the station has no waiting room or toilets for that matter.

The start of the journey back to Hereford

A packed two carriage Class 150, no aircon but I did get a seat. The tunnel was the coolest part of the journey back.

The Hottest Day

Cask Ale Sales in the heat?

 

 

Hereford Beer House was the best bet
