    Right lads, about time we had one of these again. There hasn't been a good beers in a while though there have been a few informal ones (beermile etc). Always a good way to meet the faces behind the usernames.

    So who's in?

    I guess the best thing now is to decide a date. I am guessing Saturday will suit most rather than friday so please vote on one of the 3 options. Please don't vote unless you intend going Mutple voting is allowed so vote for any date you can make; poll will close in 10 days. The more that can make it the better.

    Now discuss :D

    Sweet! No better man to start this thread! :D 7th would suit me best as it's after the Jingle Bells. I'll venture up to that one!

    Other two look like a no-go for me! XC the 22nd December! :eek:

    We need a pub with a good selection of decent beer too. Meno I know you will have that under control! :cool:

    Alright; this is looking like a landslide victory for the 7th.
    So far the only venue suggestion is Against the Grain. Any others??

    I'll be in Clonakilty on the 7th, and recovering from Work Christmas Party/Awaiting Bail on the 14th.

    21st is good for me. Spreading out the hangovers responsibly for December.

    Club party is the 14th, so that should free you up for the 7th?

    Right lads, this is looking all set for the 7th, the only venue suggestions we have so far are against the grain and McPhails in Drogheda :pac:

    Maybe best not to have too many Dublin options as a split Dublin vote might send this up to Louth and then it would just be Pconna nd RFR drinking on their own ;)

    Seriously tough anything else? I might suggest the Market bar as a meet up spot; we could reserve a nice big table and get some tapas in. It is a big open space and there is always room for a group. Would against the grain not be a bit packed?

    Oh for fcuk sake... Not another hippy dippy beer convert! Anyway meno, I thought your 2013 goal was to score at the christmas party.... All you're likely to get in Against the Grain is a 300 year old yeast infection ;):)

    I laughed when i saw that Against the Grain as the chosen pub. They were a good number on here at a similar craft beer pub last year for an event and the complaining that they didn't sell certain beers was unreal on that night.

    I'm taking all the credit for converting ye to decent drinking.
