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.

The best Tweet figures ever and it was not really me. Another 2 years of Better Touch Tool. Coffee and Bacon. Creamflow Complaints. No in Europe? A warming Pallet fire.
Where’s The Nitrogen?
Lots of confused weather and punters at the bar at The Regal wondering why their Creamflow isn’t very creamy. Me, renewing software licenses and taking tech support calls. Also, the UK is in Europe if not in the EU. HMS Belfast and the great people and ales in the Pelican Inn.

The day when everything was optimised apart from Tesco checkouts and Costa Coffee being open. 5G and then a Bacon Butty in The Lord High Constable of England. Gloucester Brewery Warehouse 4. Training in how to use the self service tap. A great manager and today, The Pelican and a lot about the Tennis.

Then there was Storm Arwen and Costa was closed to walk ins due to staff shortages. It snowed while I was in the Regal, however the Saturday Wrap was not disrupted. The Pelican had it’s marquee blown away but the Fine Ales were unharmed. Til the next time.
Stormy Saturday Session
The wind and rain of Storm Arwen. Costa only doing drive throughs due to staff shortages. TFWRail shut down. The Regal in Gloucester still very festive and the home of The Saturday Wrap. Then it snowed. The wind was cutting but the real fire in The Pelican was warming. Mostly halves and I can’t wait for the next one.

An hour and a half sleep in. I get my last Bean to work. The Constable opens at 09:0. A new festive variant. A Cloudwater 10% to start and rather stormy.
