Sometimes, eve taking it easy takes it out of you. However, the quality Beanoing must continue and what a find The Thirsty Pine is. Brought to you by the same people behind The Siren’s Calling. A must return if there ever was one. Bye Bye mb05, you were a corker.
With Apple and Belgian Ales
Time to move on to The Craft Beer cans in The Lord High Constable of England. More thoughts on WWDC 2025 and a Piney Bar.

What happened on the first day of mb05 2025
Prelude – Beers Of The Beano – Sunday 08 June 2025
You Lose It, You Find It.
In non video news, the earbuds I lost, I found in the car. A sunny but blowy day. The Lord High Constable of England could do with letting it’s Cask Ales rest longer. A free Cask Ale in the Hop Kettle due the their savings scheme. Lots of WWDC Podcasts and sarnies from Sainsbury’s.
20230606 mb07 Day 03 Wrap
Another grey and cold morning with maybe a hint of damp in the air. Downloaded an update to Detail Duo and now I am trialling it. Both Spoons for the last day. Recording the WWDC Wrap. A gentle afternoon in The Pelican, discussing The Good Life.
There Will Be A 2023 Oktoberfest Gloucester
I knew there was going to be a cold wind to start but it was grey and cloudy and definitely not High Summer. I decided to stay on the Quays, because I am lazy and I wanted to shake things up about. Brewhouse and Kitchen scores very highly on customers service an CAMRA discount but not on the WiFi.
Warehouse 4 now has a sour but it only had a third left. Maybe 22p worth? Talked to a Manager who confirmed that Gloucester Brewery will be having an Oktoberfest in 2023. The Apple web store is down.
Coconut Non Birthday
The start of the 3rd day and there is still a cold wind. Into The Beefeater for the Premier Inn All You Can Eat Breakfast. Videoed it because Reddit amongst other things. A Sunday morning Pint in both The Lord High and The Regal. Another Non Birthday, Birthday Ale in The Pelican. This time a Coconut Stout. Then one with Verdant and finally a non Wiper and True but from a Social Enterprise.

Got those free Sats by listening to Podcasts on the Fountain. A light departure meant the sun in my eyes, visor down. Rather fresh on arrival and a non Premier Inn fire alarm going off. Costa Bacon Roll and Coffee are great but now hugely expensive. This makes the Premier Inn All You Can Eat Breakfast even better value. Watching a Spoons Barmaid refusing to serve a gentleman at 09:00 as he was already drunk, she did a very good job. Lemon, Lime and Orange slices numb my palate. Sheep are welcome in The Turks Head but no Morris Dancing. Sometimes the best aren’t best and The Pelican was packed out. Sunny Beano.

Sunday morning in Spoons, watching the world go by and catching up on things. All day brunch. A gentle end to OktoberfestGloucester 2022. A Winter Beer Festival in February? Premiere Elements 2023 woes. The cold is back.
The Last Day and Maybe February
It may be raining back home but it’s cool, calm and dry in Gloucester, well at least for now. Watching the world go by in The Lord High Constable Of England. And the Sunday is much quieter and for me much better. A February Winter? Who knows? Salt appears.
