In The Corner With 4G
Welcome to British Summer, dry if a little chilly. Premier Inn Full English then The Lord High Constable of England. Taking my time over my Pints.
Then the Hop Kettle, excellent in every way except no customer WiFi. Great staff, a loyalty card and a large mixture of Cask and Keg Fine Ales. I sat in the corner, again, mostly for the LTE. Going back, no doubt.

A sunny but fresh start to the day with a Premier Inn all you can eat Full English breakfast. Beer Blogging from The Regal. The Regal, The Turks Head and The Pelican all full of Gloucester Rugby Fans. Finishing the day with an Irish Apricot Sour.
Gloucester At Home
Fuelled up on a Premier Inn all you can eat Full English, I made my way to The Regal. Blogging and Beer drinking. It filled up with Gloucester Rugby Fans.
I wanted to go to The Turks Hurd but that was wall to wall with Gloucester Rugby Fans.
Luckily, I got to The Pelican before it too filled up with Gloucester Rugby Fans. I was stuck in the corner unable to get to the bar. However, it all ended with a wonderful Irish Apricot Sour.
20240329 mb05 Day 01 Wrap
It was just turning light as I left home. However, it rained all the way to Gloucester, which was not forecast and Costa didn’t open until 08:00, despite what its website said. The Lord High Constable of England for Coffee and Beer, Bacon Butties and Diet Cupcakes.
The Gloucester Brewery Easter Beer Festival, blowy but dry. Cask and Keg in plastic glass but as plastic glasses go, not bad. The first band had a young lady playing a Les Paul, solid for Easter.
Diet Cupcakes
When it’s lighter than you think. When the heavy rain isn’t forecast. When your Good Friday opening hours don’t reflect what your website says. Spoons for Bacon Butties and Diet Cupcakes. Yes, it’s #mb05 and I’m back in Gloucester.
Warehouse 4 of the Gloucester Brewery, a wrist strap and for plastic glasses, a rather nice one. Young ladies playing a Les Paul and should I spend £13 on a Burger. These are the big Good Friday questions. Missed the last video. It was Deya and it was B++

20240329 Prelude mb05 Gloucester March 24
The cold, Good Friday mini beano but at least the journey up was light, even if the clocks go forward over the weekend. Quicktime Player and a 1.45GB short, well that’s not good.
The journey up was much lighter than I thought it would be but not forecast, it rained all the way. With some very heavy rain on the M5. Costa’s website didn’t say that it would have later opening on Good Friday. Sainsbury’s opened as normal on a Friday and its website confirmed that.
Breakfast was in Spoons, not Costa therefore and it was cheaper too. Gloucester Brewery, The Pelican and The Hop kettle throughout the weekend.

Five and Dry
Of course the journey to Chippenham was damp. However, it was mostly light, which is a major positive. Costa then Spoons, The Bridge House. Five Fest Ales all reviewed and all halves. Sitting upstairs, overlooking the river. A very pleasant morning.
A boneless Chicken basket for lunch and then over to the Prince Of Wales. Dogs, Fine Ales and news of a new Craft Pub in July. Chippenham is becoming my new Portishead. Quality Beanoing.
20240309 Prelude mb04 Chippenham March 24
There’s me hoping it will be a mostly light journey to Chippenham and then the weather forecast tells me that it will be wet. Ah! Spring. Still, another year around the Sun.
The Plan, stock up with food for tea. Costa for a Coffee and Bacon Roll, Spoons for the Festival Ales and then The Prince of Wales for Craft Ales. Simple but effective.
