Epic Beers, March 7th, 2009, Dusseldorf.

As many of you know, we take our beer very seriously right here on BGRH. Well, as serious as you can, being overweight, balding, of advancing years and prone to spending your evenings drinking pretend beers in a virtual bar on the internet. Over on the Nocturnal forum, they only get started after dark.

In our collective never ending quest for good beer and having a good time, I present to you, possibly the most epic beers ever.

Where: Mc Laughlins Irish Pub, Kurze Straße 11, 40213 Düsseldorf. Here
When: Saturday, 7th of March, 2009
Time: 7:30pm

How it works: You book your own flights. You book your own accommodation. We all meet and have a good time. I have the perfect venue in mind.

Why Dusseldorf? Fairly cheap to get to, relatively cheap to stay in, cheap to get around/eat and most importantly, good beer. There is also a Temple Bar type area, with plenty of bars/restaurants.

Getting there: Aer Lingus fly direct to Dusseldorf, twice a day. Ryanair fly to Weeze Airport, which is approx. 80km from Dusseldorf, but served by good bus/rail links according to their website.

Why talk about this so far in advance? Both Aer Lingus and Ryanair do the occasional sale, so if one comes along, we are ready to pounce and book cheap flights.

Also, generally speaking, the longer in advance you book, the cheaper.

Everybody is welcome, and I mean everyone.
