Budweiser Beer Coaster at the University College, Galway

In the late 1980s I lived in Ireland and attended the University College in Galway. It has since been renamed the National University of Ireland (NUI Galway). They have a beautiful old building (pictured on the coaster) and in that beautiful old building was the college bar.

I don't know if the bar is still there. I spent many hours there and discovered my love of Colman's Mustardwhile eating the sandwiches they served at the college bar.

Anyhow. Budweiser was really pushing to get into the Irish Market- they had Budweiser swag all over the place in Ireland then. I LOVE Guinness and wouldn't be caught dead drinking a Bud in Galway, but it was cute of them to try and get me to!

  1. Surely "give it a yank" is a bit of a double -- no, a triple -- entendre?

    1. Can you imagine trying to sell Bud in the land of Guinness?
