You must have been walking a little bit farther than you realized. It looks friendly enough so you approach the pub looking for a good beer and maybe some friendly conversation.
As you enter the pub you notice that the lights are low and there are several groups of people laughing and having a great time. As you approach the bar you overhear some conversations. One group is discussing the paradoxes of quantum mechanics. Another talks about whether man has an mind that survives death. One young man is even writing equations on the wall! The conversations are not so serious as everyone has been drinking and some are quite drunk. Your heart races as you realize, these people are talking about the very things you are most passionate about! You order a pint of Guinness while gathering your nerve to join in on the fun. You quickly down your beer and order another. Now you're relaxed and feeling good with a nice buzz. With gathering courage you ... - Start talking loudly hoping some others will come listen and join in (start a new thread).
- Make a comment to a friendly looking group next to the bar (post to an existing thread).
- Order your third beer. (go to your refridgerator).

You mentioned a pint of guinness.
I drank several FREE pints of Guinness at the Guinness brewery in Dublin.
The water, of the muddy river Lifey, flowing next to the plant has almost the same color as the Guinness BUT the tour conductors mention many times that the water for Guinness comes only from Saini John's spring in the mountains.
btw
Lord Guinness served, for many years, in the House of Lords.
He was one of the more silent members, not saying even one word for many years.
But then one day another Lord protested all the billboards obstructing the view of the country-side saying "Guinness is good for you".
Lord Guinness then got up and stated the only words he ever said in the House of Lords.
Lord Guinness said. "Guinness IS good for you."
He then sat down and was quiet for a good many more years.
