2nd Quaffers Meeting!

What a fine evening and whadda great boliche in which to drink wonderful beer with other buen muchachos of all ages and persuasions.

I cannot say enough about the Chairman's selection of our venue. Cervezaría Cossab will see many returns of our members both individually and, no doubt, as a group. Craft beers from throughout the Argentine were well represented, including, of course, a fine list of beers brewed on the premises.

Ladies and germs... they actually locked the doors for us and we strained our welcome to the very limits of the staff's fine hospitality as we contravened every dramshop act on the book (if any) in our fine país. Service was esplendido especially considering our group fortification of unlimited pizza for nothing more than 10pesos por persona.

Himself (our Chairman) hints at an even better place to convene for next month's meeting. If such a place exists that can supercede Cossab... it promises to both boggle the mind and leave you with even more money in your pocket than when you entered!

Many new faces were seen glowing in the friendly shadows even as some familiar ones were not... no doubt owing to the recent Oktoberfest in Córdoba, a festivus that can truly try strong men's higados. We anticipate their attendance next month.

Membership in the group continues to be open!

What have I found?!

Is this, as it seems to be, a beer drinking motherfuckers' club?!

Great!


I think I'd like to be in as long as my economy allows it.



Bestest,
S.

Dear Sub,

Cossab was eco-beerism (eco-nomical) in the extreme.

'Course the good stuff is chock full of good engrediments... so it'll never equal the price advantage of your mega-chemi-watery brew.

However, 2 liters of good'n'malty for $24 pesos is hard to beat...however, our Chairman has another joint up his sleeve that is even more in line with a cautious budget.

Stay tuned...

The Chairman has done an outstanding job of finding locations and making arrangements. I move that he never pay for another beer at a Quaffer event and that his pint remain topped off for the duration of the meeting or until he nods off. It is the least we could do...

Aww...Alan, callate.

seriously, it wasn't me! it's a terrible idea anyway, it would indeed ensure that i nod off at every meeting, and then frank would keep taking embarrassing photos of me and uploading them to facebook.... :-/

Not only that, but once you nodded off we wouldn't be able to resist rolling you for your notecase, mate!

That is a really nice notecase. Might I ask if the tasting notes will be published or are they to remain private.

Hi Michelle,

Just give me an opportunity to clown around and I will take it. I wish we had more of these "meetings".

To Alan´s credit, he has not dozed off at any of the other ones so I have not been able to take any more pictures of him.

We need another Quaffers!

Casa de Sammy, maybe?

Proposed. Vote below.

The Chairman, in his wisdom, has proposed an excellent venue and date for our next General Congress: Cossab in Barrio Boedo, entre Carlos Calvo y Jose Marmol. - "it has a great selection of beers on tap and in bottles, plus on Wednesdays I believe they have a very good "Pizza Libre" deal. It's also cheaper than Cruzat." There are also planned contingencies for car-pool, bus-pool, subway-pool. What say ye? Vote below.

Proposed: Wednesday, October 17 at Cossab (in Boedo)

Looks like we've got our work cut out for us. Mr. Chairman, I move that we convene another General Congress for the specific purpose of reviewing one or more of the beers in the big list below.

You can click multiple items in the poll. Pick a week you would prefer. Then pick a day you would prefer. Then we'll try and narrow the month down to a few popular dates. Then we can vote again. Give it a shot!
