OK,

someone on another forum is telling me that they sell "girafas" at Casa de Cerveza and it is on the menu.  I know "jirafa" is the correct spelling for giraffe.

and I know that "garrafa" means pitcher.  

I am seeking confirmation or not that they sell "girafas" at Casa or somewhere else in Cali.

thanks for your help.

They sell 'jirafas' all over Cali and you are right, it is the translation of giraffe because of the obvious similarity between a giraffe's neck and the tube. They are pretty cool but the beer gets warm fast so you have to drink it fast - which is fine by me...

I think what your referring to is the long tall tube with a spigot that is filled with beer and sits on the table where you and your friends are drinking.  Can't remember for the life of me what they call it though.-TNC

In Costa Rica pitcher is "pichel".  A mug of beer (from the tap) is a jarra.
