Beers in Manchester next Thursday?

Pooks coming to Manchester next Thursday and staying for a few beers. Anyone up for a beer then?

Venue/meet? No idea, what about one of the Chop Houses or similar place that sells decent range of ales (and is a bit bigger) but close enough to the two main train stations.

is this an open invitation?

Yes but of course. I’m not niche in anyway.

is your mate coming …single fit one not Binners 😉

might be up for that. will keep an eye on this thread. Food first / as well?

could be tempted if this is a post-work drinkies sesh 🙂

bar’s like odd bar and trof in the northern quarter are between the two stations.

nbt, you should know I can’t organise a piss up let alone a complex operation that involves food ontop!

post-work drinkies sesh

That’d be the best idea so people can have one, disapear or stay etc. Problem with Odd- its small and their beers etc arent great (in terms of ale selection).

What about the place round the corner from there (onto the cobbles- turn right and its now double-fronted/extended into the next shopfront) Across the road from a skaters shop.

Sams Chop House. Wonderful little pub with some good ales.

If it had to be the Northern Quarter plus you can see/keep an eye on any bikes outside.

True about Sams, I like that place 🙂

**** it, Loweys right.

It is. They also offer food at your table in the bar area.

allo. I’m supposedly coming over for a chat about a job. Not sure of time or anything yet but I will keep you posted.

count me in, I like a good excuse to drink some ales!

a village called Manchester, where’s that?

We could do a wee-pub crawl. There are few within 500m’s of Sam’s that are good/ale’s including one that serves Deuchars ontap 😀

Being single and all now means I can do spontaneous things like going for drinks with strangers! ha

Deuchars tastes like cat wee though.

Deuchars IPA isn’t a bad drop. there are better but good bitter vendors are hard to come by these days in cities!

Ok, but if you call (Deuchars) Caledonian80 cat wee we have a problem. A Fatwah will be passed.

80 shilling and bellhaven are brewed in the urinal aren’t they?

A Fat what?

Are you gonna ‘wah’ at me?

Common?

Thats the one. Sam’s is the best though.

Can’t do a school night but we should arrange a sausage and beer frenzy for a Saturday afternoon when the Christmas markets are on.

what kind of time………might fancy this.
train from leeds to mancs is quick.

Dunno yet ton – I’m guessing post work time for most people. I’ve just been told ‘PM’ for my thing.

Be warned that Hora is trying to get as many people along as possible, so that when he does his ‘oh I’ve accidentally left my wallet at home’ trick, some poor mug will fell sorry for him and buy him a pint. Binners told me this.Apparently he does it all the time.

Hora; £60 or your TAG watch. By tomorrow. Or you’re in trouble…

Damn it, I was going to try that one!

Do they serve elaborate cocktails in Sams chophouse. I’m not going unless I can drink expresso Martini’s. Paid for by Hora as I intend to forget my wallet for a change

If Hora forgets his wallet, as usual, I say we tie him to the town hall fountain, naked, then whip him with bike chains

Actually…. He’ll probably love that.

I’ll bring my wallet. But as I have no money it’s useless.

I’d actually pay to enjoy that (if I had money in my wallet!).

Start straight after work I reckon, so it allows people to come for a quickie and go or stay abit longer 🙂

So 5.30 onwards. I’ll post a number up on here on the day so anyone who is coming later can check where everyone currently is bar-wise.

So, I’m meeting this guy at 3pm. Should be about an hour then I’m around ’til the last train at 10.30pm.

Where are you meeting the chap? I finish work at 4 so if I can blag a lift to the station I should be in Picadilly around 4.45, in the pub by 5 and leathered by 6

just round the corner from the station

Winner. mail me your mobile number with that story you promised 😉

I’ve got time to do it now!

new email by the way jules. in profile.

Is this still going ahead? We should definitely have a toast to commiserate the untimely passing of Mr Jahwomble.

yes and yes we should. He always seemed a lovely bloke.

So Sams’ Chop house. Everyone ok with finding it? Pook would you like me to come and find you 🙂

From circa 6pm.

Should be ok as I’m meeting Jules.

Definitely agree. All raise glasses as one.
