2009-09-24 Thu - The Guinness Ride

its a shame the guinness brewery is no longer in park royal ,, that would have been such a great stop off point.

It was an amazing place. A few of us went in there to photograph it after it was shut. So much history (and booze as it turned out).

The only rule I was ever taught about Guiness, go where its drunk most. Normally means the best pint.

Kilburrn?

haha, thanks plagiarist and shoots.

aleksi, sounds like a great idea dude. let's visit every pub in London that's not a samuel smiths and drink the G. in a day.

i think Charco would be your man for telling you where he likes to take in the G. personally, i have enjoyed every single one i have ever had. never out of a can or bottle. must be draught. and the bar man/maid has to mince with it for a bit and not rush it like.

i will choose a G spot for you when there are more suggestions in as i reckon it would be good to put a bit of distance between the stops a la GSIAD

GuinnessSIAD?

this ride must happen
i would like to suggest one of my friends Caribbean takeaways for guinness punch. i will have a word with him and get him to work out a deal for us. he has a shop in lewisham , sydenham and new cross so whichever one suits the route.

Would that be cummin up?

What a cunt- stealing my idea! [will insert smily face later]

I looked into to this after we talked on sunday... i think It'd be a short ride* unless you get people with local knowledge outside of central. to be honest the coaches is one of my fav pints in London everything else i had was crap but that said i've spent very little time drinking in soho.

if people would post up places 'dat do a grand awl pint' then i'd happily do a reccy and help alex with a route... anyway 'IN'

*if that's even important

Would that be cummin up?

i think I'd be a short ride*

*if that's even important

Don't worry, couldn't be smaller than the Toucan.

Sorry to say it is quite a bit smaller than the Toucan!

Love their food! They have a big one in Catford as well.

Fuck you lot, I'm doing a Porter ride.

Will there be an orange juice and soda ride?

I've given up Diet Coke because it is bad for me.

Guinness is evil fucking shit that's full of nitrogen and rots your guts.

the above statement is from someone who spent the best part of 20 years downing the stuff on a level most of you wouldn't believe...

once they brought out that extra cold shit and shut the park royal brewery it all started going downhill.

So, enjoy your ride guys, but think about moving on to some proper beer in a while, like a decent porter as suggested and ingested by London's famous BringHimHisFix

ok so that's why a strange smell lingers about you RPM...

I like everything about this idea apart from the riding...

how would you know what a smell is, when you breathe exclusively through your mouth?

come on rob, you sound a little bitter (pauses for comic effect) (realises there is no comic effect)

lots of us like the G. and it seems, enough to ride in celebration of its silky wholesomeness.

and from an aesthetic point it goes well with the rzllzpzllzza teamkit. yup

do prego mum's still get the G on the NHS (urban myth alert!)

You're right RPM but hopefully the ride won't involve that much drinking. All beer will fuck you up long term.

But yes, Porter, no that's is a real drink!

I'm not fat, I'm pregnant. Sweet!

come on then rpm let us know how much exactly you were drinking I'm officially curious now
i take it you liked a drop now and again ?

Just a suggestion, The Auld Shillelagh in Stoke Newington serves a fanatstic pint of Guinness, climed to be one of the best in London. Best I've had anywhere. Proper Irish pub with beer garden, friendly staff and real pub vibes. The lock ins are legendary.
