mb03 2026 Unplugged
Badly lit, poor sound. May Day 2026 Weekend in Chippenham. Picture in Picture and settling on iMovie. New Bristol Brewery won out.
What happened on the second day of mb03 2026
Dry but grey to start. iMovie over Resolve for simple edits. Putting Picture in Picture back. Gentle Full English. The Waverley and People. Spotting rain.
Beers Of The Beano - Sunday 03 May 2026
Who is the baldie? mb03 May Day Bank Holiday Sunday. In The Waverley, Chippenham.
What happened on the first day of mb03 2026
A gentle drive along the M4 with the odd light fog patch. Costa breakfast and someone had booked my space at the Bridge House. Taking it easy and some was also in my space in the Prince of Wales. Rain and an exhausted early night.
Beers Of The Beano - Saturday 02 May 2026
mb03 2026. May Day Bank Holiday Weekend in Chippenham.
Beer Pictures Of The Beano - Saturday 02 May 2026
Chippenham. Not a bad little place for a mini beano. Saturday is your best day for The Prince of Wales.
20250824 mb06 Day 02 Wrap
What happened on the second day of mb06 2025
Semi sleep in and it was already hot when I left the Travelodge. Luckily The Bridge House was back open. Police bringing drunks in to get served and a fresh cask of Plum Porter. A gentle afternoon in The Waverley with a fan.
In Through The….. Chippenham 02
No commentary, just background noise. The Awesome Waverley, Chippenham.
Beers Of The Beano - Sunday 24 August 2025
Spoons reopened. The Police were throwing people in and I sat next to a Fan in The Waverley.
20250823 mb06 Day 01 Wrap
A standard pleasant start to mb06. Costa breakfast and then a ice bucket arrive to the Bridge House. Evacuated when water started to gush from the ceiling. Finishing the pint in the beer garden. The Prince of Wales for the afternoon. Where I had my first £10.00 can of beer. Times are hard!
Beers Of The Beano - Saturday 23 August 2025
When a pipe burst and The Bridge House is evacuated. If in doubt move to the beer graden and then your favourite Micro Pub. That’s a quality Mini Beano.
mb03 2025 Unplugged
Me, early mornings, back from the pub afternoons and video of food during mb03 in Chippenham.
20250420 mb03 Day 02 Wrap
Just because it’s sunny doesn’t mean it isn’t cold. Cans in The Bridge House and a Sunny afternoon in The Waverley. Upon leave it was looking rather grey.
20250419 mb03 Day 01 Wrap
Of course it was a rainy start to this Easter Beano. Costa now opens at 07:00, which is a plus. Spoons was rather quiet early on, probably due to it being a wet Easter. Missing Top Plates. The Prince of Wales was Great. Great Welcome, Great Beers and Great Clientele.
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.
20250419 Prelude mb03 Chippenham April 2025
Two preludes for the price of one. Prelude for mb03 and Beers of The Beano 19 April 2025. Live from Chippenham and my face from The Bridge House. Ale - Patron Saint from Elgood’s.
20250216 mb01 Day 02 Wrap
The Wrap for Day 02 for mb01 2025 in Chippenham. Cans, The Bridge House and The Waverley.
