HI 260 IRISH PUBS, PINTS & POITIN 3.0 Credit(s)
The history and culture of the Public House as one of the most important Irish institutions in Ireland. Irish culture has centered around three institutions: church, local GAA sports club, and the pub. The pub is where discussions, stories, and great 'craic' (fun) was experienced. With smaller homes and lack of many modern conveniences, pubs offer social spaces for sharing community knowledge and friendship, conducting business, playing music, and discussing politics. Well beyond alcohol, the atmosphere, warmth and friendliness are a well-known aspect of Ireland; the 20th century has exported pubs around the world. Ireland has also excelled at brewing excellent ales, beers, and the word whiskey comes from the Irish 'uisce beatha' or water of life. Prerequisite: Take Hi-100 or HI-102 or HI-110 or HI-115
