I'm not really a soccer guy. BUT I can't help but respect the emotion and passion that events like the Euro Cup, and World cup create. Beyond Canada and the US, soccer (football) is the most popular sport in the world. The game seems to be less about the sport, and more about pride for your nation.... and drinking. I'm more about the latter. I've decided to embrace the Euro Cup this year, and since I don't really have a country to tie my allegiance to, I've just decided to drink a different beer from each nation participating in the tournament. pretty cool huh? Below is my "Euro Cup 2012 Beer Drinkin' Chart" This chart should get you through until Friday. Now drink up!

Keep in mind, You may not be able to find these brands at your random run of the mill liquor store. You may need to hit up a specialty beer store. A few of them may be unattainable. Drink Responsibly.
