Message BlackHaddock P beers 15453 º places 1053 º 07:02 Fri 7/5/2013 Originally posted by Theydon_Bois BTW - any of the West Mids crew heading from Brum to Wolves we’re bound to have leftovers ... Our train is the 10.49 virgin service from New St. Bring a glass and you should manage half a dozen rates in 20 minutes !!! Coach ’C’ I just might join you: cheaper trainwise to get a return to Brum than two singles anyway (Wellington-Wolves & Brum-Wellington). I’ll check the times to see if they fit and if I’m fit in the morning after tonight’s excitment. I’ll bring a glass and something from Belgium in a bottle if I make it. Breakfast and a couple of pints in The Briar Rose Spoons before you arrive if I’m lucky. <*))))))><

Ken has been onto Richard Branson himself and demanded a doubling of the breakfast burger stock on the 9.23 from Euston!!!

It was showing coming soon last Saturday.

Message harrisoni P beers 25356 º places 68 º 12:44 Fri 7/5/2013 Well really looking forward to this trip, I’ve done my homework, added the bottles on the train tasting trip to my Ratebeer app and the pubs to pubsandbeer. Looked through the Cotteridge Wine list and created my hitlist, mostly German obviously. Time for a beer. Or should I say, another beer.
Message Theydon_Bois P admin beers 40515 º places 1239 º 12:50 Fri 7/5/2013 I’ve been good today, scooped a couple at the Willow Walk after work including the marvelous Adnams/Firestone APA, then up the gym for an hour and ran home - bloody hot work it was. Turned down the offer of a free bar and BBQ at my cricket club as saving myself for tomorrow. Just about to load up some beers in the fridge for the train tasting.

Looked through the Cotteridge Wine list and created my hitlist, mostly German obviously. Time for a beer. Or should I say, another beer. I wouldn’t rely on the cotteridge wine list. Its as old as the Bible. I usually email them to check for things I want off the list, most of the things I have asked about aren’t there. However they do get lots of good stuff in that aren’t on the list. If you like Mikkeller they have lots of choice.

Message harrisoni P beers 25356 º places 68 º 12:59 Fri 7/5/2013 In 12 hours I will be drinking a can of McEwans Export sat outside of Euston station in the sunshine. How exciting!!!!!

Message SarkyNorthener beers 5200 º places 142 º 13:10 Fri 7/5/2013 Just like to say to all you guys and galls. Have a great day tomorrow and enjoy. Gutted I can’t be there to meet you all and sample the beer. But hopefully next time I will be there. Well done Colin on organising, what will be an epic event. Cheers.
