The 1759 Society kicked off the new year with a Trinity Hall pint refresher course. The pub was about half full and
the staff delivered the pints almost as quick as we'd ordered them. I've also never seen our table so full of plates of food,
I guess munchie fever is contagious.

Trinity Hall took part in celebrating Arthur Guinness’ 251st birthday and I’m sorry to report he didn’t show for the party.
Hmm…this could be a good premise for a cheesy horror movie involving beer. Better call Sci-fi Channel
[I refused to spell it the new way].

How good are the pints of Guinness at Trinity Hall?

Arthur Guinness' 9000-year lease is on display in Diagios’ Dublin facility but that’s nothing as I suspect, somewhere Marius stores a contract Satan signed [in booze tainted blood] to get a pint of stout at Trinity Hall on credit. Lovely stuff, too bad the Dark Lord isn't good at cash management.

The Great Guinness Toast 2009
Upon entering Trinity Hall on Friday, I checked my calendar to see if it was St.Pat’s day. Blinking green Guinness medallions and t-shirts praising the dark pint were ubiquitous. The crowd was slightly different due to Valentine’s Day being the next day but Trinity Hall will always be Trinity Hall.

After clearing my ( Read more... )

Assurbanipaul: This coming Friday (2/13). You prolly already have your lonely seat reserved at some lame sports bar or faux Irish pub just so you can sadly sip a Guinness like thousands of other losers.

Me? I'll be at the Royal Falcon's grand opening that night. Edelweiss will be catering a free dinner buffet. The Waltons (semi-famous Irish band ( Read more... )

Time once again to gather at Trinity Hall for some pints and curry. I was late to the game due to this thing called “work” [then the gym] but only about thirty minutes and what? Ten people already there. Things are thawing.

Excellent. Time to dig into some pints and catch up on what some these people have been doing for the past few months. Surely ( Read more... )

Time once again for the Dallas 1759 Society to gather at Trinity Hall for some pints and curry.

It started off with Pugdog telling the tale of a visiting Irishman that decided to not wear pants at the Idle Rich Pub in Dallas a couple of nights ago. Yes, I’m told alcohol was involved.

During the trudging from bar to bar with pants around the ankles, ( Read more... )

Halfway to St. Patrick’s Day is a good time to assess the liver strength in order to set your training regimen for the coming months. With colder weather come dark, heavy ales like winter warmers, barley wines and porters.

My liver seems to be at its ideal fighting weight at this time.

A large wedding tent adorned Trinity Hall’s patio and luckily, it wasn’t on my behalf. Marius, disguised as pint toting civilian, came over to chat about the state of affairs regarding beer in Texas. I’m always glad to have informed people to chat about beer with as it gives me a feeling of hope for mankind.

Half die-hard, half-noobs, the May 1759 ( Read more... )

It was all “Official Party Business” as Trinity Hall covered every detail hosting the Dallas 1759 Society’s second anniversary party. A four-tap, pour your own pint [$3.75] station sat in the wind tunnel [front door/hallway], though the armed guard and Dobermans at the kegs proved to be unnecessary since Morris729 was LOST once again. Everyone got ( Read more... )
