Australia Day - Saturday 26.Jan.2008

G'Day!
Just wondering if there were any plans or ideas in or around Munich for Australia Day on the 26th? Weather permitting a sausage sizzle perhaps or a Great Aussie Breakfast/Brunch in the English Gardens - a bit of a long shot in the winter I fear? Being a newbie, I'm not quite sure what options are around - any suggestions?

Before you plan anything, best check with the jewish community that it dosen't colied with anything the've got on that day.

Ouch! Obscure reference to the Fasching parade I presume...

I normally just go to the Outland to celebrate (get pissed), then probably head out somewhere...perfect timing this year it being on a Saturday.

hey! im a newbie, i live in augsburg, but im not too far from munich and im keen to do something for Australia day too

I was also thinking about celebrating it this year considering it's a Saturday..

The Dopes are playing The Shamrock for Aussie day!

The Dopes will be playing loads of aussie songs and get up to their usual drunken antics if interested...

That looks pretty funny but who are The Dopes?

So what kind of beer would one recommend for Australia Day (the only Australian beer I have ever known, regretably, was Foster in the big Oil Can)?

Classic! I wrote a post about it two minutes before you on the same thing. Im Keen lets celebrate!

Hard earned thirst needs a big cold Vic!

Answer: The Dopes - a Munich-based band.

Cool!

sounds good to me, but no vb for me. i'm a coopers girl

I honestly had never drank a Fosters until I arrived in London one time. I couldn't even tell you if it's possible to buy it in Australia.

The rules of drinking in Australia

VB shout politics

Ned Kelly's is the place.

Yep Coopers is a top beer. How can i get my hans on some of that? Red or Green, i like em both.

am also up for doing something on Australia Day!

I will be at Ned's with a bunch of mates!

You actually can, good stocked bottle shops have it...good knows why! No-one in their right mind would drink it.
But staying on the topic...can you actually get hold of Cooper's here? Anyone know?

I heard you can get Coopers at the Arc bar but I haven't been yet unfortunately.

There's also an Aussie Shop at Dachauer Strasse right next to Stiglmaierplatz, which also sells various Aussie Beers...I think they sell coopers but its very expensive... ;-)

excellent they're both worth checking out! not that i dont like german beer, i think it's great but it would be nice to get some coopers every now and again...

Missed last Australia Day (worked behind the bar last year, wrong location :-). Are there any definite plans yet that I haven´t found in the chat? :-)

The best places to be are definetley Ned Kelly's and Outland!...although the Dopes are playin at the Shamrock which is always great!

I wouldn't mind going out earlier, like at 14:00 or so. We used to party all day in Australia, I was imagining a day session really.

I plan to go to Shamrock at some point to see The Dopes. I could be convinced to start somewhere else early, though.

Hell yeah i wanna start early! I miss starting early! Finish work around two on Sat. So just after that i guess. Ned's then go to Outland then check out the dopes at The Shamrock! Not really shore what order that will be in. I know a few other Aussies so i try to round em up!

a group of us will be hitting Ned's for an ale or twenty from 12 midday onwards. we couldnt score a table but if you're thirsty and your crew isn't up for early drinks, send me a PM and i'll give you my number. more the merrier i say.

also planning to be at the Shamrock to see the Dopes but an early start at Ned's sounds even better!!! Will probably be there + 1 around 2pm.

I'm up for Neds at 2pm..

Used to be able to, but not any more, if I recall correctly.
Anyway, it was only Coopers Dark I think (Hazza?), which is hardly worth the effort.

I'll try to make it to Ned's at 2pm. I want to see what the rest of the Aussie Rules team is up to before I commit though

Coopers dark was all we could get at the end. Before that we also had Pale Ale for a while, but the supply was a bit sparodic. You can't get it at The Arc at all anymore.

hey guys ive lived here for almost 1.5 years and dont know any Aussies! (have been secretly avoiding them ) but now is the time to come together for some good ol aussie shananigans. Shamrock sounds good to me. But how do i meet u lot? is there gonna b a group of u?

We'll be the group of Aussies there...If you're unsure, then ask someone behind the bar (or in the band) who Hazza is and they'll point me out.

Crikey! Australia Day! Ah'll be down Ned's with a bunch of she-la's that I picked up at a Didgeridoo seminar down Yabbi Creek!

Stone the Crows!

You might want to work on that accent.

@JOB:
Leave the sheelas and the fake aussie accent at home...glaswegian sounds much nicer anyway

The Shamrock has loads of bookings already for aussie day so get in early folks if your heading there.

Corona is a great aussie beer. I love it. (Don't drink anything else in Aus)

But if you're really desparate for an aussie drop, Cascade is great.

Best Australian beer is James Boag's, and now that a carton costs $40 in Aus, it's really not that much more expensive than the usual crap.

Happy Australia Day all! Time to put on those drinkin boots! hope to see some of you out and about.

and as much as we'd all love a coopers, boags or jimmy squire, i'm sure the australian beer gods will let us make Augustiner an honorary aussie for the day.

Shamrock seems to be the venue of choice and i'll be down for a quick half or two i reckon.

I love Neds but the prob is after about 8 o'clock you can't even breathe in there at the weekend.

Aussie Day in Ned Kelly's...

Ah yes, the Fosters bra. Top shelf that one.
