Meet up?

[mr hoppy]

Where, why, what, when?

[johnrm]

Stick a pin in the calendar or start a poll.

[dcalnan]

Should hopefully be able to make this one this time,  only thing I might have to bring is a cider. Or I could bring a karl strauss big barrel double ipa I won over in the states, it's been staring at me in the fridge long enough.

[flemishgael]

My cider and ales need a bit longer to be perfectly conditioned but I might bring two wee bottles of the cider to try it.

[mr hoppy]

I've left 24 / 25 October off the poll as (I think?) that's the FW Oktoberfest weekend.

Would it be too much to suggest fancy dress meet for Halloween (31st)?

Would it be too much to suggest fancy dress meet for Halloween (31st)?

I look very spooky all year round.

[johnrm]

It's looking like this Friday the 17th.
Unfortunately I may not be able to make it.

[flemishgael]

I can't make this Friday either 

[johnrm]

@FG, what part of Cork are you from?

[flemishgael]

From Carrigaline.
Well, not originally of course as the name implies.

[johnrm]

Ah, so you've got some Belgians then? Any sours?

Will I get in touch with the Fran Well? 5 to 10 bods by the looks of it.

[flemishgael]

I just finished my first brew but no sours yet 
Hopefully some day.
My first brew is a Belgian style amber ale but it still needs an extra fermentation on the bottle so will be ready in about 8 weeks.
A golden ale is currently fermenting but will take a while too.
I can't make this Friday but would love to attend the next meet up.
I have two ciders ready but they would need a bit of time as well in my opinion as they're very gassy now and time will make them a lot better

[Taf]

I can't make it this Friday, as will be away supping ale in London.

Can people who are definitely going on Friday stick their names down, so we can confirm numbers? 5 people voted for Friday, but need to gauge if that many are actually going, as maybe some people voted for a few options or are now not going.

[johnrm]

I had voted to 17th, but personal circumstance don't permit, so the number is 4.
Realistically the 31st is the next slot for me.
