What, in your opinion, constitutes a piss up?
The Boyfriend, determined to improve his organisational skills, is planning a piss up in a brewery. He has a list of potential breweries (that do tasting or have bars) but is now unsure what exactly would count as a successful piss up. He is tentatively defining it as at least five people drinking at least four pints each.

Any thoughts?

When I was in the pub the tv lost signal for a couple minutes
It was quite amusing to see lots of people watching suddenly rush out the door to another pub.

I can recommend this place*:

Tours and nice food.


*not my own brewery.

A piss up is not an exact science.
Sore heads in the morning are obligatory. A girl in tears at the end of the evening is always an indicator of a good night out too.

Edit: I would reccomend Shepherd Neame's Brewery tour, very good. Beer and cheese afterwards too.

I WILL MAKE IT SCIENCE.
Look. They're drinking from test tubes.
( Cae1, Wed 27 May 2009, 21:29, archived)

Fail.
Not enough volume of beer is held in a test tube.

500ml conical flask. That is more like it!
( Anthropos Was making beer on, Wed 27 May 2009, 21:30, archived)

Fucking HUGE test tubes.

( Cae1, Wed 27 May 2009, 21:30, archived)

Maybe just drinking beer with lab coats on would be sciency enough?

( Anthropos Was making beer on, Wed 27 May 2009, 21:34, archived)

You might have to do something.
Like measure how temperature effects the taste.
You must test this thoroughly by drinking it 3 different times at each temprature.
( Cae1, Wed 27 May 2009, 21:37, archived)

Create a double blind testing, repeated three times.
And each time you must drink three pints 'just to be sure'.

The data collected then must be entered into SPSS and given a repeated measures ANOVA tests at the 0.05 level of significance to see what temperature is best.
( Anthropos Was making beer on, Wed 27 May 2009, 21:41, archived)

How can you do double blind testing with temperature of a drink?

( my other username is a porsche , posting shit pictures so you don't have to, Wed 27 May 2009, 21:44, archived)

I'm not sure.
Maybe if the barman didn't know the temperature and the drinker didn't either?
( Anthropos Was making beer on, Wed 27 May 2009, 21:47, archived)

You could probably blind the bartender,
but you'd struggle to stop someone knowing what the temperature of their drink is.
( my other username is a porsche , posting shit pictures so you don't have to, Wed 27 May 2009, 21:49, archived)

That is true.
Maybe if there were only a couple of degrees in it they might not be able to tell.

Bad science.

SHUT UP AND DRINK

( Cae1, Wed 27 May 2009, 22:08, archived)

When I last saw Orange Goblin they gave out test tubes full of jagermeister to the crowd.
Nice touch.
( my other username is a porsche , posting shit pictures so you don't have to, Wed 27 May 2009, 21:30, archived)

I feel a bit apprihensive when drinking from test tubes.
They're what science is done in.
( Cae1, Wed 27 May 2009, 21:32, archived)

Yep, that was on the list :)

(w0rmwood pearl, Wed 27 May 2009, 21:30, archived)

Well worth doing.
Faversham is a pretty place and full of pubs too. If you need a guided tour of the pubs, i'm more than happy to oblige!
( Anthropos Was making beer on, Wed 27 May 2009, 21:32, archived)

4 pints?
that's a refreshing beverage intake.

8 pints is more like it.
( TBL I posted this on, Wed 27 May 2009, 21:27, archived)

My school took us on a trip to a brewery, coinciding neatly with when the free bar was closed.
They failed to organise a piss up in a brewery.
I'd say the important thing is that everyone/the majority get pissed, which would depend on individual tolerances.

A glass of sherry with some crackers and cheese.

Four pints? Thats barely an aperitif.

Not making too much fuss over it
Having booze and fun is all that counts.
( Pickle Fairy is clumsily dancing away this fear, Wed 27 May 2009, 21:29, archived)

If the five people were complete cunts, it would probably be shit
regardless of how much beer was consumed.

Tell him to man up, ARRANGE it (not organise it - organised fun is usually inherently shit) and enjoy it himself.

It was a bad idea, one of the savagest hangovers I have ever had ensued.

Gin hangovers are evil.
As are Stella ones. I'm not sure which is worse.
