A year ago for late summer bank holiday weekend, it was 2 nights in Monmouth. This year, it’s 3 nights in Hereford. It’s been such a Year. Mostly light on the journey up and the transcription was a little off. Good Beanoing Times are back.

Summer In The Ponty Rain
I thought it was time to spend a Saturday in Pontypridd. Mid August and it’s hammering down with rain. A can of Son of a Beach from Tenby Brewing, that is much better than the cask versions I have previously had. Detail Duo failing and a plea for help to their Discord. Typical High Summer in The Valleys.
Saturday Morning in The John Wallace Linton
Storm Antoni raging outside and a Pint of Big Chief from Redemption going down a treat inside.
Beer – July 2023
A week late due to Saturday not only being my beer day but my lazy day too.
Despite July being an absolute washout, Summer Ales were out in abundance.
Oktoberfest Weymouth has been announced but I’m still awaiting a reply from The Gloucester Brewery.
From a link in Boak and Bailey’s Saturday newsletter, Chippenham is now on my list but not at Travelodge’s Summer Holiday prices.
Portishead has a Brewery but it doesn’t answer their contact for.

High Summer Rain
Of course, High Summer, Wimbledon Fortnight and it’s raining. Actually, it’s the second day of rain. An Emergency (Tuesday) Beano in the City of my birth, Newport. Bus on time and starting in The John Wallace Linton, as usual.
Welsh Spoon s and two Welsh Guest Ales. Had better to be honest. May have been on more than three days?
To be honest, the Pump Clip is much better than the actual Ale. However, it was cheap and the WiFi was fast. Re upped with DTNS on Twitch with Amazon Prime. Support your quality Podcast.
Moving on and trying to find an ATM that does fivers (for the lunch time chippy visit) and failing. Came away with a tenner and the back entrance to the Pen and Wig.
More Welsh Ales. This time from Tomos and Lilford in The Vale of Glamorgan. Peachy and very Summery.
Nursing the Pint then on to The Harbour Fish bar which was of course shut but opened two minutes later.
I made a little video, which did very well on YouTube. No doubt due to The Castle Class HST in the background
Plenty of Salt and Vinegar, of course and then onto Tiny Rebel’s Newport Bar. Which is excellent on a Tuesday. My Untappd unique stats were heartily improved.
Discussed Tiny Rebel Fest and drank their Fine Ales.
Slow sipping is av thing and then it was time to go home via the Market Bus Station.
20230624 mb10 Day 02 Wrap
Begin the day with a Cappuccino and a Bacon Roll deal and then head to The King’s Fee to start the Pub Day with a fruit based drink. Later, a Jug! In Spoons, life is strange. Lots of fans in The Hereford Beer House and where did the day go?
20230622 mb09 Day 01 Wrap
You leave earlier than you need to, to avoid the M4 traffic. You sit in the carpark at the Portishead Premier Inn and watch the world go by. 07:00, a Sainsbury’s meal deal for breakfast. 08:00, The Posset Cup for a fruit based drink and a bottle of Welsh Water before some Fine Ales. Curry Thursday despite there being a World Mango Chutney shortage. When you discover the Siren’s Calling doesn’t open until 16:00 on a Thursday. Back to The Posset Cup for a Doombar then check into The Premier Inn.
