old_Sharpstown Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 I worked the door at the Ale House in the early 90's. It was a great college job. You met all kinds of people from "working class" to "preppie types". It was a true pub. I was fortunate enough to have my picture taken and placed on the wall above the main (back?) door leading to the parking lot. It was taken during the 10 year anniversary party at the pub. I wonder where all those photo's went. I have not seen them at Stag's Head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowbrow Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 The Hydrographic Society used to meet once a month on the second floor of the Ale house (90-94). I was the president of the student chapter of the society throughout college and while I'd like to say we went for the talks, it was really all about the free beer tickets they handed out at the beginning of the meetings. 1 ticket 1 beer... although they never said it couldnt be some 40 oz exotic... and it always was. Yum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashikaga Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Sure. Ale is a just a type of beer like Stout, Lager, or Pilsner. Bass, Newcastle, Sierra Nevada, St. Arnolds Pale Ale are a few that come to mind. I am more of a Pilsner guy myself.Well, I profess my ignorance about beer/ale. I stopped drinking beer back in 2001. Since then I've drank only "spirits". I keep a bottle of whiskey/gin/vodka, etc. in my cabinet. Whenever I want to get a "buzz" I simply break out the bottle. It doesn't have to be kept cold the way that beer does. I heard that in Germany beer isn't consumed cold. My uncle told me that they drink it at room temperature.

dbigtex56 Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Found this on YouTube: And this is Angela Mullen (Jenkins), who was the manager at both the Ale House and Stags Head. She was a lovely person. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYU2PaatF3c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subdude Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 All in one sitting? I would need a designated driver to do that. I don't remember if it was required to be at one sitting, although at the time none of us would have considered that to be that much of a challenge.

mkultra25 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Man, times sure have changed. Instead of getting a t-shirt for drinking 10 imported beers (which at the time was probably a decent percentage of all the imports available at the Ale House), now at places like the Flying Saucer you have to taste (n.b. the fine distinction between "drink" and "taste") 200 beers to get your name on a plate in their "Ring of Honor". I miss the Ale House. Spent many a night shooting darts there over innumerable pints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crunchtastic Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Ah, the olden days, when the beer sampling prize was a guy called Nobby from Manchester and his friend staying temporarily in your apt while they picked up drywall jobs and part-time "worked the door" at the pub.

HardcoreHoustonian Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Christian would always give me my first Shiner Bock for free. I didn't have to say a thing, I'd just walk up to the bar she'd have one for me as soon as she saw me coming. THANKS CHRISTIAN!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
