Last night we decided to go out to a bar and watch the last game of the Six Nations Rugby tournament. We decided on this really cool, wide-open bar that has lots of tvs because we were going to have a few people with us, and we had invited others so we wanted to have room. We got there and people could only watch the game if they were eating as well. So we went to another bar a friend had suggested, but it was blazing hot, so we finally decided on another bar that we knew had half-price pints during the game. The problem with these bars is that they aren't condusive to watching with a bunch of people. They are smaller and have tables and such, but no large areas for watching. We ended up in the back of the bar kind of squished into a table and bar stools. Everyone had to walk by us, and in front of our tv, to get to the bathroom and the place just wasn't ideal. But it worked out and France won the game, which means they won all their games in the Six Nations Tourney, the first team to do so. More importantly as well, France beat England. Party favors for all!
As I was sitting right next to the bar, I saw the bartender making all the drinks, which really amounted to watching him pour lots of beers. My observation? People here drink tons of guiness and the beers come in all different colors. Case and point:
These are all beers, just a variety of colors. On the left is a Monaco, which is beer, grenadine and lemonade. In the middle I think is a wheat-ish beer and on the right is an ale. Remember that also there were tons of Guiness, I just wasn't fast enough with the camera to get a shot of all of them. Fun huh?
