NSW annual pub crawl

[barls]

ok all its about time we start talking about the annual pub craw.
personally after the dismal turn out last year ie 8 people lets move this back to may.
i suggest we go back to the usual date, ie the day before the million paws walk which would make it may 18.
also shall we do the same route as last time or do we change it

 

[redbeard]

May is ok with me. Public holidays make for low attenadance. I guess we should list pubs to visit and see what lines up.
(in randomish order)

- Harts
- Lord Nelson
- Young Henry's (check open times - sat noonish) - near Newtown train stn
- Union (newtown) - near St Peters train stn
- Macquarie/SydBrew (may be moving soon ...!?)
- 4Pines - manly
- Steyne - manly
- Murrays manly
- the Bavarian etc didnt stock maibock last year due to change of ownership (ie fosters), so probably not different this year. Good for a Fransikaner Dunkel & maybe a Kellierbeir or a vb .... .... or a vb or a Stella. Mussels with vb or stella (+$1) .... wifebeater optional - lolz
- Riverside brewery (nth parra) - has bbq & bright tanks & fantasatic service by Paddo ;-)
- Redoak
- Local Taphouse

so we can do a roadtrip/ferry/train/bus.... or just a smaller cbd event. pluses & minuses both ways

nb - will try not to be on call this time. cause that just bad juju.
nb2 - Doc u any idea what beers on tap then at Harts/Union ?

Make it May 18 and I'm in! Happy to miss the Manly pubs (got a wedding in Manly in April so will get into them then!) Happy with usual places - Lowenbrau for breakfast/Lord Nelson/Harts/whatever. Newtown sounds promising? Taphouse is always a dangerous place to descend on!

 

[winkle]

It's vaguely possible that I will be in Sydney that weekend Fatz.

 

[koots]

pretty keen hopefully nothing on at that time!

 

[Pistol]

I'd probablly be interested, but I'm blind and, I could find the pubs but not the crowd! LOL

 

[barls]

trust me we are easy to fine especially when fatz is with us, although he was mistaken for a homeless guy near king and george.

id like to put forward spooning goats as well as a stop.

so the standard route is
lownbrau
lord nelson
harts ( lunch)

from here it deviates per year
im happy to miss the manly side due to it being a pita last year.

 

[ian_2005]

Can i suggest The Australian Heritage hotel be added ??

For the pizza at worst !

 

[matho]

Hopefully I'll be able to make it this year, fingers crossed

 

[Pistol]

Yep, there's a few new bar type places opened down York St that might be of interest.

Could always ask venues a few days prior of what the tap list should be to finalise, the pumphouse sometimes has some bloody good beers, I had Monks Ilicxa (spelling?) which was probablly the best beer I've had off tap!

 

[jammer]

Nooooo! In vietnam I'm may....
Bugger.
Maybe we could have a splinter session before (or after) may?
Newtown sounds great!

 

[Fat Bastard]

You can count me in again this year Barls!
Although given both the state of craft beer in Sydney at the moment and the state I was in after only
doing the Manly bars & Schwartz, breaking it up over a few weekends may be a good idea!

its all about conditioning and pacing yourself.

I'm not sure my liver will cope with much more "conditioning"!

i think jammer could be in vietnam in may. dont know where im getting this from but have this strange feeling.
dont think ill be allowed out for a pre session.

Manly was a pita, but it was also worth the hassle for something different. Happy to give that leg a miss and try some of these new laneway/small bars a go.

 

[BjornJ]

my first visit to AHB for a long time, and what's the first thread I see?

Good ol' Barls and Fatz talking about a pub crawl

Honey, I'm hooome!

Will pencil in May the 18th and check back later to the day to see if it's still on.

Bjorn

 

[barls]

Good to have you back mate

 

[BjornJ]

thanks. Was having a pint at the Lord Nelson with someone I know the other day.
Somehow came onto the AHB pub crawls when talking and wanted to find out when the next one was.

Still a bit short on space for doing any actual brewing, but would be fun to tag along to another AHB outing.

On the condition that there will be no talk of Pink Killers





Bjorn

 

[barls]

cant promise that mate. but i think your safe as theres no belgian cafe on the list this time.

 

[stux]

Belgian has really fallen from grace.

I too would prefer to skip the ride there and back on the dry ferry

Would prefer to try some of the newer craft beer establishments round newtown etc

 

[Josh]

Working the 18th and 19th. But I'm still a potential yes pending shift swaps.

 

[barls]

hope to see you there mate.

The Heritage was missed once cause it had few good tap beers (great bottled beers though) and we lunched at Harts to support Scotty Morgan's venture. Was a great stop anyway. Not far from each other. What if we do Lowenbrau, LN, AH then Harts and jump on trains for Newtown. Some one compile a list of good inner city bars and we may head back to sample some, or maybe finish at the Taphouse. Bugger if I fancy the LONG walk from Harts to (say) The Pumphouse - too freeking far. That James Squire place at Darling Harbour still open?

welcome back Bjorn!

 

[Fatgodzilla]

always welcome young fella! Would have loved to come to latest Brisbane crawl but too early in the year. Maybe the winter crawl?

The James Squre one changed hands. Can't remember the name exactly...King St brewpub.
Good place to go on the weekend if you've got kids.

 

[fletcher]

I'd love to come if there's room for more. There's a bunch of great little places in and around newtown; would be keen to end up around there (has my vote over a manly leg).

 

[Byran]

The union is at the top of my ( to go to for real beer and sport) pubs list

 

[barls]

im definately up for a stop at the following places. frankies pizza, baxter inn on Clarence, shady pin and mojo record bar.

come along fletcher the more the merrier.
