I've been to a few Boards beers at this stage and have always been welcomed, even when I didn't know anyone. I'd imagine an AH beers, which I've never been to, would be much the same. Mostly friendly folks around here and I'll definitely be going if I'm free

How Soon Is Now wrote: »Jesus the ''crack'' died some what in here didnt it?
Over the last few years ive kinda glanced threw some of the threads about past beers in AH and other forums and taught about possibly going.
Ive also taught about going to this one out of pure interest but i dunno theres something about the whole thing that doesn't sit right with me.
I dunno weather its the fact i dislike a lot of the online persona's on here or i get the feeling id go and just wouldn't fit in with the little gangs that have clearly formed over the last few months or years in here.
Personally i think if i was to go to this now as things stand it would feel like i was butting into a group of people on a private night out one i clearly wasnt invited to.
I dunno is it just me ? Or does anyone else feel that way ?
Sorry, I didn't see this until Bluewolf quoted it. Apologies.
Yeh I understand where you're coming from. The last beers thread was an unusual one, they don't usually go that, um...direction?. That's probably my fault tbh, as I didn't have the time to follow it like I normally would.
Anyway, if you can at all - put the online personas out of your head. Real life people and their online life can vary wildly. I've met people who were nothing like I thought they'd be - and honestly that can be a good and a bad thing. Overall though, I've found people at beers to be great craic and I've made some great friends through meet ups. Making new friends isn't for everyone, but it's good fun to put faces to usernames and see that we don't all look like our Avatars!
Come, I promise you will feel welcome, if you don't like it, you can always turn on your heel and chalk it down to experience 0 -

Look as much as I don't always agree with how things are done on here it's hardly your fault how others go on!
Ya your a mod in AH s but that doesn't mean u have control over certain people s personality s and how they will affect things.
Myself for example I know I might come across as someone who's always trying to stir **** or cause hassle on here but I'm not I'm just very out spoken and I don't always see things in same light as others!
I'd like to go just to see how people are off of this and if some are as out there as they are on here and to be honest I find it hard to blend In on here at times because I don't always get my point across how I'd like. I'm better in person!
If I'm allowed out I'll go! :-)0 -

Ha what I mean is it will more than likely depend weather it's on Halloween or the night after. I'll be pre occupied with other things at home for a while Halloween night as far as I know anyway!
Just noticed it's officially 1st November now!
I'll hopefully be there so!0 -

I'd love to go but would be sh*tting it - never been to one & dont know anyone!! How does it work? Do people say who they are or do you stay anonymous?
I'm gonna go for the 1st time and yeah i agree will prob be a bit "weird" meeting people who you have probably spoken to many times on here for the first time but alcohol is the great conversation lubricant

For those wondering if their nerves will stop them from coming along for the first time, it'll be okay! Many of the first-timers have gotten in touch with each other before at previous beers and met to have a chat/drink before moving on to the beers itself (support in numbers and all that), so there's an idea some of you might take on board if it suits. There are usually one or two regulars who would be happy to meet up and put your fears at ease
p.s. Liz really is incredibly sensible, doesn't even know where Coppers is...
once 1am comes along though, different story haha.0 -
I'll have you know I've only been in coppers 2 times in my entire life!! And only one of those times was after a beers
Seriously, for anyone who's a little bit nervous, don't be! Beers are always great craic, there are no cliques or anything like that and everyone is very welcoming.0 -
