    Have 8 X Shepherd Neame for the lot going Friday night. These are in the car and will soon be in the fridge awaiting you. Bear in mind these are FREE and my Christmas gift to you lot. Only if you turn up at the Blind Pig though. ;)

    It's also quite important to note that Friday is my birthday and I am sacrificing a night home with the missus to come with you lot to drink Non Alcoholic beer. :(

    quick one BB, given that i'd like to try one or two different beers friday night, well, obvious really, does the whole "bad idea mixing drinks" apply? i'd prefer to wake up with a fresh head in the morning with none of the adverse side effect normally associated with a bad pint of guinness even! basically if you could recommend a safe starter for a newbie? :D

    Mixing drinks only really applies if you are going from stout to lager to cider to spirits to etc etc.

    You can move between premium products without too much problems. Your only issue will be the strength of them as far as I'm concerned. The one in the Picture is 6.5%.

    Starter drink in The Locke - if that's where we start would be O'Haras Irish Red if you want to be all Irish about it or to start with a crowd pleaser try to Old Speckled Hen.

    For those who want something special in th Locke bar that you won't find in very many places(subject to them having it) is the Molly's Chocolate Stout. :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,635 ✭✭✭xsiborg


    chocolate you say? well, if you're going to try something 'different', lol :D

    Mr Baron kind sir...where along the way will i be able to get some NA erdinger?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,152 ✭✭✭✭Berty


    Red Ale and Pale Ales are the nicest for those trying something different for the first time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,152 ✭✭✭✭Berty

    Stick with me. That's what I will be drinking. I don't know about the Locke or O'Connells as they are not my customer directly. They might have Paulaner Non Alcoholic as it's supplied by Heineken so should be everywhere I'm not selling to.

    hmm, when i think of red ale i think of smithwicks, my old man used drink it, could never hack the taste myself, always so much more bitter than guinness, although nowadays guinness more and more commonly is being brewed with that 'more bitter' taste, hence why the search to find a drink that goes down easier... :(

    Definately in Mickeys anyway, and Bourke's.

    Not going to be a problem. Spoke to the Manager 10 minutes ago.

    RE: Costelloes.

    DAMN. I wish I was drinking tomorrow night. Damn it to hell. :( Have to leave with a clear head in the morning for Waterford...................:(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,484 ✭✭✭The Snipe

    Insect Overlord
    Beer Baron
    the drifter
    TestTransmission

    I expect you guys to take care of Sniper when you are out. I don't want to hear stories of how she had a bad night. She will have spent hours on her latest girly look, and will be in need of compliments. And no cracks about her height, she cannot help it if she is destined to stay shorter than this Kess.:)

    It's the kind of place where time and a sense of smell forgot all about. You're not missing much really.......................................well maybe "The Cage". :D

    Regarding tomorrow
    for those drinking and/or just want a lift. I am coming in from Newport so can pick any folks up along the way. It might make it easier on people having a person to walk in with in case you don't know anybodies faces.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,635 ✭✭✭xsiborg


    well, i just meant about organising the complimentary drink and waiving the door charge at the blind pig, then offering people a lift in... course all the info too about the craft beers themselves... :o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,097 ✭✭✭✭zuroph


    depending on how i'm doing for time, we might take you up on a lift BB.
