Galway’s Busker Brownes may look a little bit different on match day this year as Heineken teams up with rugby stars to turn pubs Green all the Way for big games this September.
The country’s most iconic and colourfully named pubs will be transformed and renamed as the nation gets behind the boys in green this rugby season.
International rugby star and Cork native Simon Zebo and rugby legend Devin Toner will be joined alongside a troop of rugby stars past and present including Peter Stringer, Donncha O’Callaghan, Sean O’Brien, Ian Madigan, Andrew Conway and Dave Kearney to name but a few.
They will be heading to beloved pubs around the country, where they will be pulling pints, working the door and having the craic with fans in the pub on match days.
Fans can grab a pint pulled by barman for the day Devin Toner or Peter Stringer, as well as plenty of other surprise and delight moments.
All of this is taking place in these four iconic venues at ‘Green Hour’, the hour before the big game kicks off.
Galway’s Busker Brownes, the Silver Key in Cork, Drogheda’s Grey Goose, and Sinnott’s Stephen’s Green Dublin will be transformed Green all the Way in September as Ireland battles it out in France.
Speaking on the Green all the way campaign, international rugby star Simon Zebo said that seeing pubs transformed like this just adds to the excitement of the tournament.
“There will be plenty of craic in the pubs on matchday – I can’t wait to see a few of the lads try their hand behind the bar!”
