I’d forgotten just how good The Bunch of Grapes, Pontypridd was. Home of Cwrw Otley bot on Cask and Keg and many other Fine Craft Ales.

Staff Changes in The Platform, Caerphilly. Dark Element’s 2nd Birthday and Putty arriving on Thursday. Superior Saturday Beanoing.

January and instead of cold, grey and gloomy it was mild and sunny. Back in the groovce and ready for Dark Element’s birthday next week. Putty was also discussed. Total Drinking Experience.

Unloads are throttled all over, so now most Preludes will be in 1080. No more Lamb but The Pen and Wig for Cask Ales and intelligent Political discourse. Post Storm Goretti.

The first Christmas Eve off in I don’t know how long. Counting my blessings and listening to The Daily Tech News Show Office Hours. Reach out this Christmas 🎄 Project PM.

The Project, Caerphilly with my Beer of the Year. Scoop Blueberry Cheesecake from Azvex Brewing. Saw Santa on the way home. Jingle.

More DTNS US Pint Glass testing and a Rugby afternoon in The Project, Caerphilly.

Another Hybrid Beano ending up at the Project, Caerphilly.

This video might not even see the light of the day due to the background music. Anyway, The Otley Brewpub’s Oct O Bar Fest 2025. Cask Ale is not dead and Craft Cask Ale is still a thing. No WiFi and a mechanical Till. These are now things. Also, used cash.

Tech news, Beer news, the washing on the line and a quality Sherbet being sipped. It’s actually semi sunny too. Gentle hybrid Beanoing.

Sunny late October Beano in The Project, Caerphilly. Chilly but with the sun in my eyes at the same time. More Fine Ales than my credit card couls provide. Nearly Halloween. Alas there wasn’t one more.

How long before I send my AI alter ego out to the AL Project for AI Fine Ales?

YouTube Shorts Beer and Pub Reviews for Spoons Autumn Beer Festival 2025. From The Tumble Inn Pontypridd, The Malcolm Uphill Caerphilly and The John Wallace Linton Newport.

An afterwork visit to The Project in Caerphilly. Beserker from Dark Element was the standout Beer amongst exceptional Beers.

The Malcolm Uphill in the morning for The Spoons Autumn Real Ale Beer Festival and the Project in the afternoon for Oktoberfest Caerphilly.

Twt Lol’s 10th Anniversary Saturday cancelled. Nearly the Spoons Autumn Real Ale Festival. The pre Oktoberfest Project for Plan B and the New Caerphilly Fish Bar is back on the approved list.

Oktoberfest starts and I try the first five Festbiers from the Lidl UK Oktoberfest Bier pack (via kalea.com)

Two videos and a surprise Alcoholic Ginger Beer. Greek Food too.

The John Wallace Linton is a Newport County Wetherspoons with at least two County flags hanging from the ceiling. No wonder there was security on the door, as Bristol Rovers were playing them. Weird Dad opened at 11:00, for a pre match tipple.

The Big Cheese in Caerphilly. AM in The Malcolm Uphill and it was mostly dry. PM in The Project and it was mostly hammering down.

No commentary, just background noise. The Awesome Waverley, Chippenham.
