Friday beer garden

Shame on you Mr. Smiöth, sticking an Umlaut on Germany's finest Bard like that.


I assume the horse will be there too?

No sorry no Horse, for one thing its only a three year old and therefore too young and for a second when it drinks unfiltered beer it farts terribly. So no the horse won't be there.

The Goethe thingy was a cut and paste Job. You should blame the original author; Ian although now I'm going to be accused of plagiarism or sumfin'

Hi all

I am new to Munich, having moved over to join my partner a few weeks ago. I would like to invite myself along tomorrow evening (if sunny, if rainy might stay in and watch Olympics!). How will I recognise any of you at this place? Sensible replies please!

Liz

If the weather is nice they'll be sat outside so you should look for the big orange flag attached to one of the tables.

Orange Flag
No Show Jumping Horse
Zara is hard to spot but her 20 body guards are easy (black ties)
You can't miss Blue Dave
50 Brits standing up with beer
Forget the Olympics, bring a brolly
Shout "I say! Where does I get a beer around here?" When someone corrects your English, thats us
If it rains we'll be the ones sitting outside under the umbrella

@allershausen,
you could have taken the pic on a sunny day, you don't want to give the wrong impression.

I resemble that remark.

Sorry about that, but I didn't take the photo, I shamelessly stole it from here!

I have been commuting back and forth for three years so the rain is no surprise. In fact, I regularly get blamed for it when I arrive one weekend and it rains!

Hope to see you this evening. Liz

The weather has improved slightly, but I asked Zara to book places inside anyway,

See you there,

Gwyn

I think that I´ll give it a miss after last weeks shenanigans

It's brightening up!

Bloody lovely out there, perfect beer garden weather.

_{Hoping i haven't cursed it.}

I say this looks like just the thing to get rid of my Blues!

@Chippy Keeper of Jobbies
Welcome to Toytown.
Jolly nice first post!
Confusing handle.

Bloody long way to come from Berlin Chippy old son.

Edit: and it's just started raining.

Sorry i take full responsibility for being too optimistic, mea culpa.

The currant bun is smiling again.

Chippy Keeper of Jobbies sounds like a euphemism for Happily Constipated

Well I might not make it this week . But I will definitely try and make it down there sometime and Ian you don't want to be touching my handles matey . oh! Thanks for the welcome...

How about meeting-up at the KaiserGarten on Freitag, 26.9.08??

First belly laugh of the day. Thanks.

How obvious can a second user name be

Especially as it was a very first post.

If its a hot and sunny day, we'll take the opportunity to go to a big beergarden. But if the forecast looks uncertain when we book, we'll pick somewhere where we can all go inside in an emergency. But it has to have room for a huge bunch of us. And preferably standing tables as people want to be able to move around.
But I'll certainly put the Kaisergarten on my list of places to consider when looking at the weather forecasts in the future.

I believe that certain people are having a good old Guffaw about my name , I must say rather a poor show chaps .
Just to put things straight ,
I am Chippy Keeper , son of Dennis and Bea Keeper,
My Father is the Laird of Jobbies pronounced Jobbyss a small Isle off the coast of Scotland which due to a sudden shift of the local Continental shelf`was swallowed by the Sea before it was put on any Maps. and is not on any account to be mistaken for a Scottish Crap.

Och, that reminds me, ah didnae post on the thread last weekend tae say wha' a fine time ah had speakin' Scottish wi' Expat Mat. So Mat, if ye're readin' this, it wur great tae meet ye. Och aye.

Last night was good too. Met a guy with aspirations to become the King of England, a lady who seemed to know more about me than I know myself, and one very smug cat that got the cream.

Didn't see Zara Phillips or her horse though. Or did I?

Really?

Mat is from Manchester . . .

Don't you mean King of Scotland?

^{Note:Look out for a Thursday as well as a Friday event this week!}

Who's going away this wet weekend? nobody? The Friday beergarden is also not going away either. Despite the rain and it's Thursday sibling.
On Friday it's at the very central Wassermann, in Isarvorstadt. from 19:00. Right by the U-Bahn U1, U2 Fraunhoferstrasse. On the corner of Fraunhoferstrasse and Baaderstrasse. It doesn't get much easier than that.

We've got the whole standing area in the right hand corner, and they've got a great cocktails scene (€5.50 til 8pm) which will probably attract many happy people. Including newbies, losties, toasties chimpies and frimpies. (he gets worse!)

I booked in the name Ivana Humpalot. On the phone the man didn't even flinch when I reserved. He obviously doesn't have the entire Austin Powers boxed set! A sad,.. sad.. man.

See you. Ian . 0172 8227752

Fraunhoferstrasse 39. U1 U2 and a Tremm. (why do they say that?) Their Website

Oh, i took it from CS that the thursday event had superceded this?

Good oh.

It has in the past. But we get asked to do the Fridays as well. So its 2 FBGs this week!
You've had the curry wars, Well if Carlsberg did beergarden wars, they'd do it on different nights at least! How civilised!

Hey! Is this a fight?

Its a win win situation. Where everyone gets to choose between going out on Thursday, or Friday, or both!
Or stay in and watch Last of the summer wine. Except on Friday the only fireworks will be a sparkler sticking out of a cocktail glass.

Oh dear ... decisions, decisions

A clear Last of the summer wine fan here!

What you need is a list asking for permission.

Oh no! You'll start a rebellion.

Ian and All,

I am one of those happy losties American who will be in Munich from Italy this weekend and if OK with you and your friends would like to join your Friday beer garden. R/Paul.

Sure! join in the fun!
Look out for the high tables. That'll be us.

Anyone know what bus goes there?

Take # 152 from Ostbahnhof, get off at Erhardstr. (EPA; first post-Isar stop), take a left onto Erhardstr. & keep walking until you hit Fraunhoferstr. (not far). Voila!

U2/U1 also goes there

Howdy city folk!

This Friday we'll catch an evening sun up on the be high up on the Nockherberg in the Paulaner Salvatorkeller from 18:00
Later if it turns nasty we'll go into the Gaststaette there (where the copper brewing equipment is) See: www.nockherberg.com
If you cant find us, we'll be at t he location of the blue arrow on the map. Roughly in the middle. On "long" tables. Link to online Map
Everyone is welcome to join in the fun. Call me when you get there if you cant find us.

Paulaner am Nockherberg: Au-Haidhausen Hochstr. 77.
Transport: Tram 25 to Ostfriedhof or:U1 to Kolumbusplatz and walk up the hill at Taubenstr.
Check out The TT Calendar that magically lists all up an coming events.

Sounds good - will try to make this one.

Re the tram: I think there's also a number 15 tram, which is really just a 25 in disguise. Only difference is that the 25 goes all the way to Gruenwald, but the 15 only goes as far as Grosshesseloher Bruecke. But both go past Nockherberg way.

For those who love trams, but feel that the 15/25 isn't really quite their thing, there's also the number 27 tram which goes from Petuelring up in the far north, trundles through Schwabing and the city centre, crosses over the river into dragon country, and then huffs and puffs and chugs all the way up the Nockherberg hill, to Ostfriedhof.

Bluedave, note that the 54 bus does in fact intersect the 27 tram route, so if you're ready to progress to trams, this is your chance!

Woh, that's Marco Polo type of exploration for Bluedave, we may never see him again!

yeah but such a shame that donatos shut down behind nockerberg

he'll start having blue rinses and pushchairs before you know it. Anywary if anyone so much as mentions the 54 bus, or indeed any non-cool transport on this thread, I'll get VERY angry!

I can also get the 152 there.

What do you think about having a newcomer tag along? I wouldn't be able to make it until about 7pm. I've been spending too much time at home and really need to get out and see more of the city and meet some people.

Just turn up, all welcome.
