A Picture of Pitchers

The other day, Big G came over to grab empty bottles for his home brew operation he had on the go. His original plan was to then walk to James' house and watch Hercules- but by the time we realised it was half 10, that idea went out the window. Sorry James!

We ended up going down to the Sibly bar to play table tennis. On the way down, it surfaced that neither Big G or Ryan had really ever had a whole pint of Guinness. Upon realising this, we decided to buy some pints to enjoy.

The barman at the time was Tom Bonello, and as we ordered our Guinnesses he was delighted, as Sibly bar sells next to no Guinness and he missed the fun of pouring them. After drinking those, we were content but not satisfied. So we decided to do something that has never before been seen in Sibly hall since it was built in the 60s. We ordered 'pitchers' of Guinness.

I know right? If Guinness is a meal in a glass, then this is a feast! We another pitcher each after drinking that one, and we were done for the night. I have noticed that since I came here I have instigated a number of events that have apparently never happened in Sibly Hall before. Once again- take a mental note that this building was constructed in the 60s, so all these things have not happened in a span of about 50 years worth of students...

1. The first recorded instance of the Piano being moved into the main bar for a music event
2. The first cask of ale ever bought in by student suggestion
3. The first pint of real ale consumed
4. The first 'Guinness Pitcher' ever ordered at the bar
5. The most Guinness sold in one evening excluding St. Patrick's day

I think we can agree that's quite a cool list.
