20191107 #mb15 Day 01 Wrap
Contact lenses and parking apps were against me. Not keen on the rather dark and roadworks burdened M5 either. However, a 06:30 opening Costa in the centre of town and a compact City Centre won me back. Overfilled #CurryThursday and a bit of a find with The Beer Cellar. I can’t see the sea from my Premier Inn room and The Pursuit of Hoppiness is another Exeter winner.
In Pursuit of The Meeting Cellar
Day 01 of #mb15, Exeter, November 2019. Issues, many issues with Contact Lenses. A weatherly and unlit drive down. The joy of parking apps, however Costa Coffee, Bacon and Coffee. George’s Meeting House for #CurryThursday and then what a find, The Beer Cellar. Check in and off to The Pursuit of Hoppiness. All were winters and I already like Exeter.
20191005 #mb14 – Day 03
The final wrap of #mb14 2019. The Oktoberfest 2019 Beano. The highlights day by day. Day 01 Rhubarb Custard Milkshake IPA and in the spirit of cross platform integration, David Spark’s Apple Book The Guide to Markdown. And yes, I see the irony there. Day 02 was the Gloucester Brewery Oktoberfest 2019 German Hat. You gave got to get into spirit of these things. Day 03 introducing a CAMRA member to the joys of Untappd. And then it was over.
Reading meets Germany with Onions
Bacon Roll and Coffee, Obvs. Single Spoons with Lager. A Rugby Tank and a Dock Bridge up. Introduced a CAMRA member to Untappd. Finished (sort of) The German Ales and there was a fruit sour from Reading. Next year or Weymouth. The joy of choice. The joy of Beanoing.
A week of German Beers and a Hat
The Saturday Wrap for 04 October 2019. October really is Autumn, mist, lack of Motorway lights and Computer systems that don’t talk to each other. On the plus side The Gloucester Brewery’s Oktoberfest 2019 and a hat.
20191004 #mb14 Day 02
Rescued the Chicken Salad sandwiches, they were fine. Two Spoons with discount vouchers. Tank with an excellent Orange Beer. Day 01 of The Gloucester Brewery Oktoberfest 2019. Great German Ales and a free Oktoberfest Hat #mb14
In An Oktoberfest Hat
Day 01 of The Gloucester Brewery’s Oktoberfest 2019. It rained a bit but we are are good in the rain. I was given a free Oktoberfest hat. The Ales were Fine and the excellent guy with the guitar from last year was back again. There was a burger and a German sausage. Tomorrow looks rather good as well.
Markdown Curry Thursday
The practice day for #MB14 the Gloucester Brewery Oktoberfest. Suffering from lack of Motorway lights, computer systems that don’t talk and smokers that don’t close doors. However, some rather different Fine Ales, MacSparky’s Markdown guide and some Topcashback cashback. All ready for some Fine German Oktoberfest Ales tomorrow. It’s a drizzly end to the day.
#mb14 – Day 01 – The Start
I don’t want to start off by moaning but it’s mostly what I do. However the cool almost coldness of Autumn is off the list as I rather like it. Driving north on the M5, why aren’t the junctions and entrances to service lit up. It’s very easy to go straight past them with the attendant chance of an accident. When you check in online to Premier Inn you give them your car registration number, then when you park in the car park of Gloucester Quays you have to register your car so they don’t fine you £85. Two different computer systems not talking to each other, great. However the Costa Coffee next to the Premier Inn, excellent and is The Regal (Spoons) in the City Centre.
