I'll probably be getting a lift home from Leixlip first if one of my training partners races IMC too. But best way is to jump on the train. Station is right by the track. Think it goes to Heuston. Red Line to city centre, then green line or bus (145?) out.

Thanks, am doing a "beer agreed " Hell n Back 12km the morning so wont be doing a fast time but still good to get my first Beer mile out of the way... May show up in fancy dress for the craic, cheers

Had a warm up session tonight, 3 beers, 30secs recovery, and I learned I will not be breaking any records on Sat and Moosehead isn't the mae west

38secs/41secs/51secs

Well decided to give up the ticket for the same on Saturday and do this race. Haven't run faster than a 10 minute mile for a long time so think this could be an interesting event.
Need to get a few bottles of moose head today to reacquaint myself.

Sales of Moosehead must be showing a spike around now - wonder how many beer miles it will take for them to notice the trend :rolleyes:

Worth a shot

although you'd better not tell them why most people are choosing it !

adrian522 · 09-06-2015 12:50PM

As long as the prizes don't involve more Moosehead I'm fine with that.

Just back from Dunnes Stores, was thinking the exact same myself as I was buying 6 bottle of moose piss!

menoscemo · 09-06-2015 01:23PM

With all the moosehead on the track on Saturday, should we be taking measures to mark our own bottles? What happens if someone drinks one of yours, do you just nick one of someone else's bottles?

Toulouse · 09-06-2015 01:28PM

H'okay, so I'm thinking about throwing my hat into the ring for this.

How crazy would I be to attempt it with no chug and run practice?

On behalf of all of us (maybe just me) who hate hipster craft beers, may I say feck off!

That's a bit like saying you only like instant coffee and that the real stuff has too much flavour! Now pass me that blueberry, agave, spiced raspberry IPA.

Only one way to find out

I'd imagine very few people do any 'chug and run' training. The few that do any training mostly limit it to chugging.

adrian522 · 09-06-2015 01:56PM

So is it going to be all Moosehead on Saturday?

I saw a viable alternative in the offie yesterday, Brooklyn Summer ale, 5% and 355ml, decent beer. Only problem was they only had 2 cans at the time.

I currently have 8 mooseheads so probably just going with those.

Myself and KC had that summerale last year. Lovely beer and just as easy to chug as Moosehead IMO, but it really is an expensive waste of a nice beer. It's more of a beer to sup on.

BTW Brooklyn Lager (cans and bottles available) is also an option. Ditto Sierra Nevada. Cans are slightly easier to open than bottles too which might save you a few seconds.

I suppose you like ethically sourced coffee beans, grown on organic Kenyan goats turd from the great Rift valley served in a hand made cup produced by a fixie cycling bearded, tight jeans wearing, ironic hipster bastard?

They really need to reopen that rant thread!

Ah Jaysus Turd, surely his parentage makes no difference !

+1 for the rant thread

It doesn't need to be ethically sourced. The rest is more or less the way it needs to be though.

So, who or what rattled your cage this fine day - Moosehead hangover ??

adrian522 · 09-06-2015 03:20PM

Sounds like the 'training' has started early today. Let me know if you'd like me to recommend an afternoon beer.

hipster bastards, wrecking my head 24/7 for the last 2 years, not just this afternoon

No training today as of yet, but if I was, I would not be asking you for a beer recommendation! They probably wouldn't sell it to me anyway as I don't possess a pair of vibrams or skinny jeans. Just for laughs, have you recently owned a pair of vibrams or a fixie bike?

adrian522 · 09-06-2015 03:38PM

I have not, but I do know what both of those things are if that helps my cause at all.

ArtieFufkin · 09-06-2015 03:45PM

I don't want to be a pedant but is Moosehead not 350ml in size making it 5ml too small in volume?

adrian522 · 09-06-2015 03:50PM

No it's grand, it's 12 Oz, they are just a bit lazy with the labeling I think. It was discussed a few pages back.

A great. Looks like I'll be drinking that too.

What's a fixie bike ?? Saw a fella running along the footpath yesterday bare footed - whatever about grass, this path was likely to be covered in all kinds of sh1t - where does he fit ?

Yea, the Summer Ale is lovely and will be my beer of choice if I can source it. Otherwise it will be back to boring old regular Brooklyn Lager

. I'd definitely go cans. Easier to open and in my opinion easier to chug too. You're not trying to funnel 350ml of liquid through a narrow neck in a short space of time.

shels4ever · 09-06-2015 05:01PM

moosehead shortage in Dublin

, Into two places after work that are sold out of moosehead today, Think i need to travel a bit more to get some. But picked up a couple of 330ml bottles for training will do a late night run tomorrow to see how things go.
It turns out that my last race was actually the last beer mile, I'm a joke of a runner

Ladies and Gentlemen- It's that time of year again. The date for the 3rd annual Irish Beer Mile Championships is provisionally Saturday, June 13th at 6pm.

Can we get the time on the first post updated? That said i thought it was 5pm so would have been early but the change to 7.30pm will definitely be my excuse now!
