March Meet

[Quiet_Man]

Great to meet you gents and thanks for sharing your beers.

The night certainly took off after we got that agenda out of the way!

The other Andy asked me what hops were in my beer - Northern Brewer, Centennial and Amarillo.

Right away to download and have another go at Beersmith!

Tell you what, though, was a bit unimpressed by the 'attitude' I received at one point when I asked that my pint of Jaipur  be filled a bit more to something close to the requested volume.

Still, Jaipur on draught.  Excellent.

Andy. Just saw your post. Glad you enjoyed it and hope that means you'll make it to future meets. The wee IPA was the winner of the night in my opinion.

P.s. Rory..... SUAREZ IS GOD!!!

I did enjoy the night, but can't promise to be a regular. A Friday night out is a rarity, and Saturdays are too manic with the kids various sports and social activities - but I'll try! Mind you April looking busy already, what with Easter, etc.

Still can't make my mind up as to what to brew next!

Bottle of Razzer's Better Half Black chillin' for later!

Other Andy reporting in alive.

Lookin forward to the next one fellas!

Cheers for the hop list, Andy.

Yeah was a good night. That ginger wine was rough as eff, wasn't it? Next time I'll have to bring down some actual beer. We'd a good wee night though didn't we?

I think the problem with the agenda is that the first thing on the agenda is "drink a shitload of beer"

I suppose it depends on what we want from the meetings - if we want a sensible, organised meeting with a chair and a bit of order, a seated environment might be more appropriate. As it is, we have it as a bit of a pub setting, which inevitably means it ends up like a pub atmos - everyone splitting into wee groups.

Good night though.

Agreed........surely we could be all growed up and have like minutes and the like but the bloody beer gets in the way. I'm up for the next one and I'd love it to be a brew day.

I agree with all the above comments. Although in fairness we did kind of skim close to the agenda at one point, when Rory got the laptop out to look at Beersmith. Don't know if it was much help to you, though.

Yeah, time changes next weekend and we're into the longer (hopefully brighter and warmer) days so a brewday is a good idea. Only thing is, we still need to find a venue. I'm not sure if the Hudson 's the ideal place for it, given all the work they've done out the back. I get the feeling we make them nervous
On a completely unrelated note, I'm a tad embarrassed to show my face there for a while. Although I had a bit of a fall, it was due to tripping over a low stool behind me but this, coupled with the fact I'd a lot on board by the end of the night, was enough reason for the bouncers to see us out. I suppose it did look a bad; 2 blokes standing at a table with a shitload of empty beer and wine bottles 

So, does anyone have any suggestions on venue/date for a brew day? Like Andy (Quiet Man), April's looking a little congested for me, but May is even worse.

Cheers,

-Barry

Ah, Iain. Only noticed you post about an April meet after responding here.

At some stage over the summer, my house might do for a brew day, but at the moment Tamsin is doing her dissertation for her Masters and so it wouldn't be fair to take over the house for a whole Saturday.

So until the end of May, my house is out...
