PIC: NFL superstar JJ Watt is on the beer in Dublin with nine of his mates

A traditional Irish welcome

If you are heading out in Dublin later then you may just bump into one of the biggest NFL stars on the planet.

JJ Watt, he of box-jump and Houston Texans fame, is in the city this afternoon with nine of his oldest friends, and they are living it up.

The defensive end is taking in the sights and sounds of the capital in the only way that most American tourists know how: by visiting the Guinness Storehouse.

And it seems there as a very special treat waiting for Watt as he arrived at one of the top tourist attraction in this country, as the brewers in Guinness even crafted a beer in the NFL star’s honour.

And if he fancies a chance of scenery, he’s been invited to Galway by Connacht’s Bundee Aki.
