Dublin Forum Beers Part Deux

Degsy

Righto..i've been bullied into throwing this out there...anybody got any good suggestions for dates and venues?
I was thinking sometime around 23rd-24th of April but lets see what everybody thinks.

I moved this to a thread of it's own, because I really don't think the Feedback thread is the place for organising beers.

What was Windsock talking about Glasnevin Cemetary? Is it the tour she was on about?

If we do do that, we should contact the tour guide and tell him there's a group of us coming down from t'internet, he might do us a special or an extended tour or something.

He's a really nice fella, I did the tour last year (Easter last year afaik, I think there were free tours on)

I don't think everyone would share that opinion.

Dont swaet it,we have lots of time so we can organise a suitable date and venue.
Maybe des or somebody can sticky it with a poll?

WindSock

What do you want in the poll?

You love us that much Degsy!?

Glasnevin? hmmmm. Also you do know 20th is a Tuesday?

Dates i suppose...the date with the most votes gets it.

Tbh,i'd prefer city centre pubs to somewhere like the gravediggers..its a bus journey from town and not everybody's cup of tea,also tends to be quite jammed at the weekends.

The FLowing Tide was handy, and wasn't too packed.

I'd be up for town more than Glasnevin, though anywhere Norf of the river is fine for me.

I say Hop House followed by Fibbers

I used to like the place but the last coupla times i was in the barmen acted like if you werent a regular then you were been done a favour just to get served, especially around closing. Plus it's jammed everytime i've been there

Yep. A place with good pints is essential.

The Guinness was woeful in the Flowing Tide.... although I found over that whole week Guinness anywhere on Abbey street was a bit dodgey tasting.

This is why I drink pint bottles, always the same good quality drink no matter where you buy it.

Bachelor is a bit of a run down old man pub in fairness though. Cheap drink though, is that the anchor here lads, cheap drink? :pac:

lizardfudge

Well lots of us actually are run down old men!

That and a reasonable pub to serve it in and a decent pint too!

Gavin "shels"

This thread died on its arse anyway 4th or 5th June anyone? Or the weekend afterwards?

Nevyn

The Guinness was always good in the Batchelor and it was an old man's pub, just to be my Grandda's pub, grand place for a few quiet pints and a bit of craic.

Dord

Is this beers or going to a graveyard? I'm up for the former but not the latter.

Lower Deck for the beers anyone?:D

Degsy

Throw a few suiggestions out there and des or one of them can stick up a poll on where to have it.
It worked well enough for the last After Hours beers.
