West Beers : Every Thursday @ The Lamb Brewery, W4 4PH

Despair not.
Some have been converted to a Medlar Jelly by a neighbour,
But the remainder are slowly maturing and improving.

Anti-department xmas drinks for me.

I was planning to come tonight, as it's the last Thursday I can make before Christmas, anyone else in?

Ah, shame, doesn't seem to be happening tonight. See you all on the other side.

Before anyone panics, I mean in 2017.

Apologies,
did not see this until now.

Will put some medlaren in a take-away container and pop them in the freezer for you.

Alternatively, the Xmas Lights ride, 2016 12 14 by @youramericanlover,
will be enmedlarred.

I'm guessing this is cancelled until the New Year?

Or, was anyone planning on going this week?

I can't, wish I could.

I can't, wish I could.

Likewise.

Seasons Greetings, guys.

I popped into Norths this week,
and a couple of people expressed an intention to venture out our way in 2017,
due to 'our' pub/pizzeria combo venue.

Have a good holiday,
and event-free journeys.

It was just after you left that we noticed the pub was on fire. Coincidence?

Yep,
pyromaniacy and medlar fixation,
widely acknowledged as* causally linked personality traits.

• Should the loss adjusters for the insurance company of The Flask read this,
  please note this 'widely acknowledged as' should be read as 'never previously'.
  
  

[Hmm, that bulletpoint marking circle should be an asterisk].

Wrong day, wrong pub,
popped into the Shepherds Bush Brewdog on the way back from th'Smoke.
Enjoying a Mikkeller Xmas Wish.

Have a good NYE.

Are we assembling tonight?

I probably will be

On for 7.
Anyone else coming?

Hi,

Sorry, missed this, on the wagon for Jan, but may have an orange juice next week?

No worries. The Red Lion is being refurbed at the moment, not sure when it's back open (any hints @metrocammell?). We went to a nearby pub this week, will update venue next week.

And @Jess_of_Norths has moved on.

Hy guys, we should be back in business in two weeks!! I'llkeep you updated

Do you know where to? She seemed quite happy at the red lion.

Cool. I have to do a long ride or two to justify my pizza/beer consumption.

Afraid not, met her totally at random in Shepherds Bush as she was leaving the Pocket Watch, only had a 5 second chat

So, this week's venue?
The Drapers' Arms, where hamrack and myself drank last week was OK,
plenty of space, (well it was the 1st week of the Year),
and,
a choice of beers, the Jaipur was much better than whatever Meantime ale I tried,
but,
£££ for food,
and
only 1 steel loop for bike security nearby.
I've got no problem cycling a bit further east if someone has a suggestion.

How about Acton, it may tempt a few more people from the East?

Red Lion & Pineapple, or Chatsworth, (Or the Areonaut for that Al-Fresco BBQ feel?)
