Rugby and Beer
Last week was rugby and beer and it's more of same this week except I swap out the Sierra Nevada for some of my own home brewed Guinness. Now when I say home brewed I don't mean I made it myself! Clearly you can see the cans of Guinness. I mean it was home brewed in my country up in Dublin with fresh water from the river Liffey nearby.
I got The Good wife to pick me up 8 of these when she was at the supermarket this week with Saturday in mind as I knew Arsenal were playing Chelsea at 5:30pm and I knew that South Africa were playing England in the World Cup semi-final in the rugby at 8pm so what better opportunity to have a few pints of Guinness.
These have been keeping cool in the fridge for me since mid week.
The Guinness is a great weekend drink as the weather starts to get a bit cold.
As it happens I was out all day training my son's soccer team and then brought my kids out the country for a walk so I ended up only getting home at about 7 p.m. Arsenal were two nill down to Chelsea, so my son and I were a bit dejected. We must have brought the Gunners luck though as we fought out way back into it and got a 2-2 draw.
I've just sat down now to watch the rugby.
Time to grab a Guinness and try the auld home pour.
