Another postive: It looks like it has enough height to clear a raccoon.

 

Ok I think it is time or some sort of a beer/food gathering. Maybe I'm just thirsty, or maybe I'm looking for an excuse to drink beer (not that I need one). Anywho, I'm thinking a brew pub? How about:

O'Fallon (I've never been to their facility)
Trailhead, St Charles (same)
Square one, Lafayette Square (cool place)
Schlafly brewery in Maplewood (cool place, right by me, Terrets and Ferret)
Growlers, any location (not a brewery but a lot of beer)

Opinions, comments? Dates?

 

I've got a friend coming in this weekend and he's a big fan of beer. I'm game for Schlafly in Maplewood any time this weekend.

 

Same here Mike as its about 2 miles from me. I can go any time from friday at 5 through saturday night, or even tonight.

 

Schlafly's over this weekend sometime sounds good to me. Might be going to Midnight Madness Friday night, so Saturday might be better.

 

I'm good for Friday only. I'll be out of town the rest of the weekend. Schlafly sounds good or even Trailhead. Trailhead has other bars near it if we want to hit a couple others afterwards, too.

 

ok so friday it is. Schlafly or trailhead??? I'm town b/c I've never been to Trailhead, but Schlafly is sooo close...

 

Well if we're going based on proximity then O'Fallon, please! I've never been there and don't even know where it is. I like the food at Trailhead better than Schlafly, but I like beer at Schlafly better. Which St. Louis brewery would have the best scenery? Figure that one out and I'm down.

 

Above 50 years old?? I'm not sure Bill.

The below 50 scenery at Schlafly has been mediocre, not bad or good, the couple times I've been there.

 

You know, I'd be bothered if it weren't even close to true. It's crazy. I just got back from California Pizza Kitchen today at lunch and the women that caught my eye the most were over 40, but took great care of themselves. That's perfect! You don't have to wonder what they'll look like when their metabolism slows down at 30!

/end shallow bill

 

You just have to worry about the effects of menopause!

Side note, today I finally put 2 and 2 together when I saw a huge building with "CSI Leasing" on the side. Ohhhh, That's where Bill works! Yeah I'm not sure what goes on in my head somtimes. Maybe next week we'll get lunch and talk about our rice rockets.

 

Shockingly enough the past two women I've dated already had hysterectomies. So they were hormonally balanced by prescription. Doctors CAN help the world!

 

So tomorrow do we want to go somewhere for food that has beer, or mainly for beer? If beer we can do Schlafly, or maybe Trailhead (don't know anything about it), for food Bill said O'Fallon is good.

 

My ideal situation would be to go to schlafly's get some good beer as a primer coat for the night, eat afterwards becauase the food, at least downtown, is terrible. Then let the beer steer from there.

 

Not to take away from the beer festivities this evening, but if anyone is looking for alternate options, Gateway Raceway is hosting Midnight Madness tonight from 9pm to 3am. Good times!

I definitely need some cocktails after the week that I've had.

 

Mmmmmm... beer. Did anyone decide whereto this evening? Also for those that are reading and haven't posted, feel free to join us in the discussion/festivities!

 

I guess the deciding factor is what we want to do. If we want a happy hour-ish get together, Schlafly is pretty good (Bill I guess you could go before you head way west), or if we want to make it an evening festivity we could really do it anywhere.

 

Anyone know of a good place to get mufflers fixed? Just a reliable good place to go? An attorney here was looking for a good place.

 

I need to head out west regardless. I have to take out the dog and get him to the babysitter and I am joining a new gym out in O'Fallon and need to sign the contract. I'm leaving the office early so I'll most likely be good to go by the time you all get off work. Plus, I have a nice two beer head start on you all. What else is in the Schlafly area?

 

Nick's pub is right down Manchester. Cool place for thursdays, not sure about friday's. The loop is right up McCausland (blueberry Hill, pin up bowl, the red sea, Cicero's (lots of beers there)), my place, Terret's parents house (woo hoo!)

 

Sounds like Schlafly's then! What time now? I can probably make it out that way after 5 or so.

 

I am ready to start booooooooooozin ASAP.

 

hmmm, 5:30 or 6?? I'll probably try to get home early and pound some food.

 

I'll probably eat at Schlafly's. Not in the mood for cooking or fast food. I'll hit Schlafly's at 5:30ish. If I'm the first one there then I'll situate myself in the bar and get a head start.
