The bottles are clad in Texans battle red and deep steel blue with Watt's number 99 in bold type. -- from The Open Gate Brewery: St. James's Gate, Dublin. The brewery started making beer in Dublin in 1759 at St. James's Gate.

Are the bottles filled with signature Guinness with a personalized label? Or is it a special blend for Watt? We'll never know.

What we do know is Watt has a good group of friends, as they've made a yearly trip together since high school.
