Beer
Parisian beer houses sell their brews in an entirely Gallic
ambience. Bière à la pression is draft beer and comes in
three sizes: the most common demi (8 oz), sérieux (16 oz)
or formidable (about a litre). France produces a few bottled
beers, Kronenbourg and Stella Artois being the best known.
If you order a bière , you would have asked for a bottled beer.
For draft beer, order un demi or whatever size you want.
Currently it is the pub—Irish, Australian, British and Scottish
—that has hit the city hard, and more are springing up. They
host special events for their country's holidays, play sporting
events on large television screens, arrange dart competitions
and offer just about anything to be found in a traditional pub,
including the food. Funky Paris (http://www.funkymaps.com),
distributed free, has current information on the pub scene.
