Beers Of The Beano - Saturday 12 October 2024
The Coach in Bridgend is having a semi authentic Oktoberfest today. Good idea I thought, I’ll jump on the train. However, no trains between Rhymney and Cardiff, rail replacement buses. Cardiff to Bridgend via the Vale line, no trains, rail replacement buses and Cardiff to Bridgend direct, track works, revised schedule and rail replacement buses. Public transport, not really for the Public.
So, it’s Caerphilly, The Malcolm Uphill, for the Spoons Autumn Beer Fest (AM) and The Project (PM)
The Joy of £1.79 a Pint
The bar doesn’t open until 09:00 but the doors open at 08:00. So it’s all you can drink Coffee until Kickoff. £1.56 for an unlimited mug.
I had the centre Canadian Ale yesterday in The Tumble Inn, Pontypridd
Starting, left to right, which is what you do on a quality Beano.

The review
T Drop - Adnams - 4.0% ABV. B+ and a bit, infused with multiple teas. Very pleasant, fruity, tropical, floral and summery. #ale #beer #bier
3.3/5. A Summer Ale in an Autumn Beer Festival and the sun has just come out. I’m really enjoying the ales so far. Pricing excellent.
At this time not exactly Summery out. Sunny weather forecast.
No rice in it, so I'm safe
The review
Orihime Pale Ale - Ishii Brewing / JDW - 4.3% ABV. B+ and bit and a touch, complex, fruity, hoppy with a lingering fruity, bitter finish #ale #beer #bier
3.4/5. The brews are getting better and they are sessionable, so it Pints not Halves. This is really refreshing. Quality Beanoing.

Starting with Keg, checking with The Untappd App.
I went for Two Thirds of Immortal. However I'm not a Grauniad Reader
Not Wetherspoon’s prices. However, you have to pay for quality.
