Beer Club 2.5: whiteboard campaign

Even after our whiteboard campaign the number of participants has dropped rapidly. The club must go on! As Marc says "the beer still taste the same", lets hope he's right!

Beer Club 2.5: Watering holes

As with all beer clubs, there is no real itinerary. The only certainty is the first pub... which will be The Beresford Hotel.. which we missed last time, due to group hunger.

6pm  The Beresford Hotel

A little bit fancy pants. Good selection of beers and not bad food.

Pub 2 – The Beauchamp Hotel

Fancy pants. We might walk past.

Pub 3 – Rose Shamrock & Thistle (3 Weeds)

Never been here, but looks ok.

Pub 4 – The Fringe Bar (Warning: uni bar)

Bit of a dive, but could be fun.

If we head to five ways:

Royal Hotel

Good  drinking venue

Four in hand

Looks good. We should visit if we head 5 ways direction.

 If we head up oxford street:

The Print Room

Never been here, looks small & Irish.

The Grand National

Very small – could be to small.

The London

Could be very busy. Not a bad pub.

Hopefully end up here… we should make an effort – david might get homesick (or beer sick):

The Lord Dudley

Dry July or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Drink the Beer

I just had a sudden realisation (via twitter and other social media) that our next beer club kicks off on the first day of Dry July.

So, while you could ponder the coincidence, time and space ramifications, and possibility of repent. I like to focus on the positive aspects: We will be doing our bit for local business during their tough times ahead.

It is a great cause though, so do sign up if you're feeling up to it: http://www.dryjuly.com/

Channel 11 shows its support for beer club by airing Naked Gun 2 1/2

Friday 1st of July - Beer Club 2.5: the smell of beer

Place it into your calendars - if its not already there. Post your suggestions on where we should visit. This one is looking like the group could be significantly larger!

Prizes for the first correct guess of the film reference. Prizes are of no monetary value, and may well be a figment of a shared imagination or consciousness.
