Euro drinking

Euro drinking


Obviously I have been drinking beer during the games but I have decided that I will drink each teams national tipple at the end of each encounter. ( 1 drink per goal )

Saturday started nicely with a couple of glasses of Port to celebrate Portugal’s 2 - 0 victory over Turkey and a small tot of Absinthe as the Czechs ran out 1 - 0 winners.

Sunday I anticipated a pretty dry day but managed a couple of Schnapps on behalf of the Germans with a disgusting Sljivovice for the Croatians as they won 1 - 0.

Mondays afternoon game left me a little worried. A 0-0 draw.
I desperately needed goals from the evening game and thanked f*** the Dutch allowed me 3 gin and tonics before bed. It should have been Juniper gin but I only had Gordon’s.

Tuesday didn’t disappoint as Sweden allowed me 2 Vodkas (neat) and 4 small tots of Soberano brandy as Spain hit form. Probably should have been Sherry but I am not mad on that.

Today I have just had my 3 - very small glasses of Port and an Absinthe - and 2 glasses of Raki for the Turks( it was a Greek one though ) and a Kirsch for our Swiss friends who finally netted.

I have a bottle of Zowbrowski Bison vodka in readiness for Poland`s first score tomorrow.



If it ends 4-4 with Austria ?

sounds very much like a drinking game i used to play regularly after playing footy on Saturdays called "round the world" - whisky for Scotland , Guiness for Ireland etc .... some serious hangovers after those nights

I've been trying to "Save Euro 2008" in my own small way.

Being a real ale drinker, it's not easy with these foreign larars but I've had
Kozal - Chez.
Efes - Turkey
Tysks - Poland

all bought at Wetherspoons.

Will also be able to do German, Italian & Spanish there and some Swedish ciders but does anybody have some other suggestions?

Cheers, where can you buy that? I expect the Evening Star will help me out with some decent brews.

Have you tried Urthel? Their Hop-It (a bit like an IPA, but 9%) in particular is my new favourite "Dutch" beer, although it is a bit of a "co-production". The "brewery" (ie their office) is in Belgium, but the beer itself is brewed using the excess capacity at the La Trappe brewery near Tilburg, so it counts as Dutch by birth right. Also the brewmistress (yes a she) is a Belgian, but her husband is Dutch.

The first Dutch beer that can truly sit alongside the great Belgian brews. La Trappe is head and shoulders above most other Dutch stuff (except Mug Bitter, but that comes from a brewpub and is bloody hard to find outside its home in Middelburg), but does IMO lack that extra dimension when stacked against the Belgian heavyweights.

One to add to the list then Truf.
Imagine drinking Amstel or for the rest of your life.
