delzep's idea, and I like it. Instead of having all our December meets, how about all the greater Dublin area clubs get together for Christmas beers in a central location, maybe Farrington's, WJK's etc?
Other clubs would of course be welcome too!
Why not!
Sounds good to me :)
I was thinking when Emma and Cathal's beer is in would be a great time.
Great idea!
It's meant to be an Xmas seasonal.

I thought it was a summer seasonal?
EDIT: which one? Is this the summer seasonal winner?
It's a one off Xmas brew AFAIK.
Yea - they arent brewing the winning recipe - It was a brewday with brewers at the brewery - brewing a one off seasonal beer.
I was judging on the day with Paddy from BRU - great lad.
Just checked and I'm off every Saturday in December ;D

Ok, will we try to firm up a date so?
Maybe the guys know when they will be brewing. We shall ask tonight.

Will it be in before Xmas?
Just got a call from the BRU lads today. Its looking like the brew day will be the weekend of the 9th with the intentionthat it will be released in Farringtons before Christmas. All to be confirmed early next week.
Time for a poll. We should pick a venue as well. Bull & Castle is my choice because it is easy for people to get to.

Surely anywhere in town is as easy to get to. Farringtons is much better in my opinion (although it can be almost as loud as B&C at times which is why I don't drink there)
Friday the 6th is the NCB Xmas party night!
Other than that all suit me!
Something against Saturdays?
It's not all about you lad :o
Thursday and Friday in December can be a nightmare with after work once a year messy drinkers
Thursday - Saturday will be pretty much impossible for me to get off but I'll try when a date has been set
Looks that way, but the poll is open for a few more days yet

So are we looking like Friday 13th?
Just as an off the wall suggestion, how about a Christmas booze-up in January? It worked well with the CAMRA group I used to be a member of in England - the pub was delighted to have punters drinking in their quietest month, and it meant that peeps working in the drinks trade would be able to attend. Thinking of CARA as well as myself here.
Yea great idea.
We can also swop unwanted xmas gifts for desirable HB ones!
As in:
10 pairs of socks for one conical fermenter!
I thought the booze up was to replace the December meetings?
Eeh there is no law that prevents us having a pre christmas and a post christmas dwinky :)
13th sounds good to me
No can do the 13th - for me anyways.

I can't make it that night either!
Working night for me is the 13th
Not that it matters to me, as I'll be working all of the above dates, but just noticed that the Beoir boys are having their Xmas shindig on 13th - this might prevent some from attending e.g. Saruman, Andrew.
My missus has a work do on the 13th - and there are some other work dos being organized here - so if the 19th getting tougher all the time
I am sure others are in the same boat.
If its ok with everyone - I'd like to propose a lightening round / final as it were - just the two days and see what happens
- hopefully we can break the tie - nothing to lose really.
I'll start a new poll with just the two days.

Do we not want to wait and see when Emma & Cathal's beer will be in Farringtons.

Maybe Im being presumptuous but I was kinda thinking it will be there by the 19th - and if its not we arent going to be able to organise anything later.
Its a great idea would like to see it happen
I might even have some goodies to give out (but I wouldnt dare let that influence the vote :o )
I'm working the 19th but sure if it suits most people then go for it
Well it was your idea in the first place - so I feel bad suggesting it now !
Don't worry about it. There'll be plenty of boozing over Christmas anyway ;D
Another option - if genuinely - 11 people can make one and 11 can make the other - just have two events ?
But like yourself - I dont mind if more can make it other day.
If you would prefer me to scrap the 'final' poll - I'll do that.
Dont want to be rubbing people the wrong way ( :P)
The 'Lightening round' is here -

Yeap two days - remember the lightening round from friends when the tied for the appartment -
I watched it again this week on you tube - doesnt age well that show.
Two days to choose from - I only got it on there Friday afternoon, most will only see it Monday - closes tuesday.
