1st Draft Beer FREE at the OpenBeer VIII at Deutsche Ecke on the 2nd of June!

Dear Beer Loving friends,

As you all know the Athens OpenBeer VIII event is going to take place at Deutsche Ecke in Zografou. Deutsche Ecke won the honor of hosting the OpenBeer VIII event through the Poll that was active on the OpenBeer website last week! It was a last minute win that was determined by the Deutsche Ecke fans seconds before the poll closed. You can read more about that in our post titled “The Battle of the Pubs for OpebBeer VIII“.

The reason I am posting today, is to announce that Deutsche Ecke has made a great offer and I would like to share it with you! This is the offer: (more…)

Athens OpenBeer VIII Event at Deutsche Ecke on the 2nd of June

Dear beer loving friends!

This time round the voting was very intense! Even at the last minute the lead switched hands! It was a very close call and a battle to the “death” between the 2 favorite selections, FIRST CZECH PUB ATHENS and DEUTSCHE ECKE! At the end, at 00:00 last night the poll closed and the winner was DEUTSCHE ECKE!

So, it is official, the Athens OpenBeer VIII Event, based on your votes, is going to take place at the DEUTSCHE ECKE on the 2nd of June 2010!

Deutsche Ecke is located at 126 Papagou Av. Zografou close to the 8th Zografou bus station for bus 230 and 608 (Λεωφ. Παπάγου 126, Ζωγράφου, πλησίον στάσης λεωφορείου 230 και 608). The good thing is that because of the many students living in the area the buses come by very often.

We will start gathering from 20:00-20:30 and onwards. If you want to RSVP on FaceBook click here.

Keep in mind that the FREE Beer offers as linked to the place that the event is held. This means that since Deutsche Ecke hasn’t made any offers, there is NO FREE BEER this time. There is FREE beer! Read THIS post!

Thanks!

The Battle of the Pubs for OpenBeer VIII!

Wow! This is very interesting, both FIRST CZECH PUB ATHENS and DEUTSCHE ECKE are calling on their communities for votes for the Athens OpenBeer VIII event! I don’t think that Mike’s Irish Bar (the 3rd competitor) has a Facebook fan page, maybe they do, I don’t know. If someone knows, please tell us. (more…)

Athens OpenBeer VIII venue suggestions!

Dear Beer Loving Friends,

Guess what!? It is time to organize the next OpenBeer event! Yes, yes, yes! Beer time is here! I feel that the heat of the summer is too much. So the best thing to get over it is by drinking cold beers! Why not make suggestions near the sea this time? (more…)

Athens OpenBeer VII

Dear Beer loving friends,

On Wednesday the 12th of May the OpenBeer VII event took place at James Joyce Pub in Monastiraki for a second, unexpected time! Why unexpected? Well, the original plan was to have our pints at Ploughman’s Pub, but they didn’t open up on time! Yes, you read that right, they didn’t open up on time!

One day before OpenBeer VII, we called the Ploughman’s Pub and confirmed our arrival clearly stating the time we would be there and also providing a link to the page that described the event. How much clearer could we be than that! The next day we found out that we were talking to a brick wall! As more and more OpenBeer fans arrived, we decided at 21:00 to go to the second best choice from the Poll, which was James Joyce Pub! We went and had a blast!

The service at the place was great, thanks for that Louise! The beers were exceptional and the sausages great! (more…)

Vote for the Athens OpenBeer VII venue

Dear Beer Loving Friends,

The venue suggesting time is here and I have created a Poll with all your ideas! As with other suggestions not included in the past, so was München at Melissia not added to the list of selections because of its location. The closest public transport is 2.5 Km away, unless you take into count buses which are a nightmare. It is important that we are close to public transport (Metro or Train). (more…)
