Beers Of The Beano - Saturday 19 April 2025
A bank holiday weekend and of course it rained. More in Wales than England, of course. The Big News is that Costa Coffee now opens at 07:00. Stored for future reference. Finally remembered Spoons is called The Bridge House. It was rather quiet, maybe because of the weather and Easter.
The Prince of Wales Micro. All about Scottish Sour Samples. Which is what Easter is all about.

mb02 2025 Unplugged
Me, early mornings, back from the pub afternoons and video of food during mb02 in Hereford.
20250309 mb02 Day 02 Wrap
Another sunny start to the day. Emergency heating in The Kings Fee. Lady brewed Festival Ales. The Jam Factory with Ludlow. Red Azvex
Prelude - Beers Of The Beano - Sunday 09 March 2025
Breakfast and Fest Ales in The Kings Fee. An hour in The Jam Factory and ending up in The Hereford Beer House.
Heated Spoons and Liverpool
The heating must have failed in The Kings Fee. A large fan heater sounding like a jet engine was deployed. More female brewed Festival Ales and a large Full English. Jam Factory and then The Hereford Beer House. German, begian and then very fruity from Liverpool.
20250308 mb02 Day 01 Wrap
Reformatting an SD card to start the day. Then a surprisingly light journey. An easy day on the knee and two 5.5% Fest Ales. The Filled Rolls are back and it was Rugby and discussions in The Hereford Beer House.
Prelude - Beers Of The Beano - Saturday 08 March 2025
Hereford for The Spoons Beer Fest, The Orange Tree and The Hereford Beer House with a money off voucher.
Early Morning Spring
Start the Beano by reformatting the SD card. A mostly light journey up and lots of lane changing around Monmouth. The knee is workable. A free Coffee in Costa and The Spoons Beer Fest. The Orange Tree quality filled rolls and it was so good to be back in The Hereford Beer House. 13 months is far too longer time.
20250308 Prelude mb02 Hereford March 2025
Well, for reasons mainly. It’s good to be back in Hereford and Plus One. The Knee is nearly nominal again. I have a money off voucher for the Beer House and The Spoons Spring Beer Festival is on. All that and a warm dry weather forecast.
