Wonder if anyone gave up "beers" for lent, if so have to be after Sunday 8th haha:)

O'Connells on Saturday the 14th could be cool. Should be a nice mix of folk out, and weather permitting we can occupy a few of the benches in the beer garden.

Weekend after next ill be about. Voted for Oslo purely for the reason that if we book a table or two for the gathering we will get free nibbles and their fried chicken is Unbelievible.

O' Connells would likely be the winner, as it seems to be the boards.ie staple, but I'd love to have one of these out in the Oslo sometime, purely for the change!

They'd be open to anyone! Even them pesky non-boardsies!

I don't know what everyone's obsession is with sitting outside in the cold in April! :P

Layers methinks.

Great idea there Biko.
Just one question:
Where's Oslo? Never heard of it.

There's genuinely nothing weird about it. Unless RHG comes along. He's pretty weird
:pac:

I'm kidding, of course.

To be honest, I think the Oslo will be a much better venue and, as Das Kitty pointed out, it'll be inside!

pleasant Co.

You can add my vote to the oslo - great venue with lovely brews - as I only voted on the date :P

Woohoo! TheCosmicFrog just told me about this! I'd love to see everyone again. Can't make the 13th though. Awh, I had missed Galway beers so much!

Friday 27th

It's heading towards Friday the 13th in O'Connell's.
Since I'll be away then (wedding over in the pale) I'm thinking a few in Oslo tomorrow?
It could be a warm-up beers for whoever can/can't go next week.
PM me if that sounds good.

I'd love to join you but away tomorrow night, if you're knocking around Sunday I'm down.

Apparently there's a beer tasting event in Massimo's tomorrow (Saturday) at 6pm. A few different breweries. Myself and a friend/fellow Boardsie are going if you're up for it? Flojo/anyone else?

I would love to but I'm sick! I was asked meant to head down to Galway today for Jungle Boogie but had to cancel that. Stupid flu. I'll will definitely be going to Galway soon though. Hopefully the weekend of the 20th or 27th. Beers and playground/beach then haha?

Next Friday is out for me too, I'll be in Birmingham.

EAT at Massimo - Artisan Food & Beer Tasting with Probus & Mc Geoughs and meet the brewers of Galway Hooker.

Actually that does sound nice.

Awesome. See ye there!

thesandeman

Looks like I might meet ye by default. I was heading to Massimo anyways.
I'm hooked on Hooker.

Das Kitty

Might be in later folks. Ye going to move from Massimo or stay there?

Finishing up in Massimo's now. Heading to the Roisin soon. If anyone is around the city, join us!

thesandeman

Saw a few green jumpers and woolly (how exactly do you spell that word?) hats but couldnt home in on Bikos G-spot. Thought it strange (but good biz) how they changed the whole place into a restaurant so quickly after the presentation finished.
Hope everyone remembers to drink Hooker!

Tonight was good craic. Mojitos probably shouldn't have been breakfast though...

Edit: Also, biko disappears like a ninja.

Should call in depending on how early I finish up work next Friday, assuming that's still on.

Was at a couple beers before, good craic. On the dry this time though me thinks. Go home to be own bed and not stay up until daylight playing Street Fighter on Xbox, thinking I'm winning when I'm actually getting the **** beaten into me.

No further comment.

Good time was had. I didn't see anyone after I left for Roisin with Steve.
Attendance was about 10-15 I think so a good crowd. A few Hookers were had.

Hope the "real" beers next week is as good as this was.

TheCosmicFrog

Friday 20th

Brilliant night last night. I'm still feeling it this morning. Those chocolate eggs really don't seem as appealing as they once did...

Great to meet everyone yesterday and good to see that everyone will be there on Friday for the "real beers", as opposed to the warm-up last night :pac:

Biko - we went to the Roisin around 11 or 11.30, I think? Were downstairs for a while then stayed in the smoking area after.

See you all in O'Connell's!
