Dana Beers Is Rating London One Pint And One Insult At A Time

TLDR: Dana Beers took the Dana Pints tour to London and immediately started grading the country's architecture, its history, and its complete refusal to make buffalo chicken.

  1. "NOBODY TOLD ME WINSTON CHURCHILL WAS FAT," Dana wrote, genuinely stunned by whatever statue or portrait he stumbled into. The Wonton Don jumped in the replies to pile on, noting Churchill famously used to work from the bathtub, which he called "the ultimate fat guy move". Between the two of them they turned a British history icon into a bit, which is honestly the most Barstool thing that could've happened to Churchill this week.

    But the real engine of the trip is the drinking, obviously. Dana settled into the actual point of Dana Pints — sitting outside a pub with a beer in hand, which is basically a national pastime over there. He filmed himself doing exactly that outside The Devonshire, pint of Guinness in hand, soaking in the London street-drinking culture he'd go on to call one of the simple, stupid, beautiful things in life.

    Fuck it all mate! #DanaPints

    The food criticism has been just as relentless. Dana went full Dana Tries mode on British pub grub, working through a sausage roll and a plate of fried chicken and chips — and drawing a hard line on mushy peas, which he wants no part of. He's not wrong that mushy peas are a tough sell for the American palate, but it's still a bold move to walk into a country and start ranking their comfort food on day 2.

    It hasn't all been five-star reviews. Dana docked points after Wembley reportedly ran out of ice, called out London for not knowing what to do with a spotted Devonta Freeman jersey, and openly panicked about tipping his Uber drivers. By day 3, the real crisis emerged: no buffalo chicken anywhere in the city. For a guy on a beer-and-food tour, that's not a small gripe — that's a national emergency.

  2. Dana Beers doesn't do subtle. The Barstool Pints guy landed in London for the latest stop on his Dana Pints tour and within hours had turned the city into his personal review show, grading everything from Big Ben to Wembley's ice supply like a man being paid by the hot take.

    Little known fact about me is that I fucking love sick architecture. I’m an absolute slut for Big Ben. Big Ben fuckin rocks #DanaPints

    First stop was architecture appreciation, and Dana went full tourist for Big Ben, declaring himself an 'absolute slut' for the clock tower. Fair enough. It's one of the most recognizable landmarks on the planet and it's been telling London what time it is since the 1850s. But the history lesson didn't stop there, because Dana also ran into Winston Churchill and was not prepared for what he saw.
