An Autumn Monday

05/10/2021 Leave a comment

Or Fall depending on where you are. Monday in Spoons is Monday Club and much quieter after the weekend. With regards to Angie’s Bar, two things, use Google Maps to find them and take cash. It’s tiny indoors but they do, do filled rolls. List under must visit.

Also under must visit is The Pelican Inn, especially in the rain. The Landlord is now a friend on Untappd. Can’t beat that!!

Self Servicing Beano

04/10/2021 Leave a comment

The rain has stopped, the Premier Inn WiFi is surprisingly fast (still not that fast) and I am full of their Full English. The Lord High Constable of England (Spoons) has Brecon Carreg Water and 38/17 WiFi.

Warehouse Four opened on time and is still very much work in progress. However, all the basics are they. Seats, beer, WiFi and power. Friendly welcome, good beers and sofas to boot. The only issue is that all the beers I tried were too lively and I got underserved. Nothing too serious and it’s only a teething problem. Definitely going to come back.

Tank, also part of the Gloucester Brewery and back across the bridge from Warehouse Four. More foody and some great Craft Ales on Keg. Today’s it’s some winner’s from Bath’s Electric Bear.

The Art of Timing

03/10/2021 Leave a comment

The M4 between the second Servern Crossing and the M5 between the M4 and Gloucester are both unlit, so I’m aimed to leave just as it was getting light. It worked out really well, so I parked up, had a Bacon Roll and Coffee in Costa and still arrived at The Regal (Wetherspoons) Gloucester for 08:00. The pub and the bar opening time.

The Regal quickly filled up both with professional drinkers and Rugby fans. Despite the high positive test result numbers it looks like the Rhonda is only having a marginal effect. Oh and The Regal has a King Kong model as well.

Still raining but the Pelican opened at the dot at 12:00. Awesome Pub, Awesome Ales and an Awesome welcome. New WiFi password as well. Rained a lot as well.

Planning My Tech

18/09/2021 Leave a comment

The day after the Apple iPhone Announcement 2021. A time to cogitate and plan, maybe the odd Fine Ale as well. A pleasant classic Autumn morning to start the day. A new Transport for Wales Rail timetable meaning my train left five minutes earlier.

My Costa points are now Beans which means they cannot be exchanged for Bacon Rolls, however Beans mean you can have whatever size Coffee you want and the large is very large. The Gatekeeper is full of Welsh Ales which is somewhat of a mixed bag. However, the supply of Hazy Jane is plentiful, luckliy.

Bubs was quiet to start and cool in the midday Sun. The wall menu had a shed load of sours, so it was start at the top and work my way down. That with Stevie Ray Vaughan and fast WiFi set the scene for the afternoon. There was was of course some TikiBar and the DrinkBot made an appearance. Good Autumnal Times.

I’ll Take The Long Way There

The 50A due to Costa not opening until 08:00. Confused Autumnal weather with no Hazy Jane shortage in The Larry. Old School but fast WiFi and Cask Ale in the Pen & Wig. And when a Cask is fresh on and the Ale is Fine, well that’s the Way Forward. A large tray od Chips from nowhere near the Sea and then on to Tiny Rebel. Runners going from the Bar to the Brewery. Cask, Keg and a Can whilst going very old school with Tiki Bar TV. A sunny end to the day.
