I Love St. Patrick's Day, but...

[Chaplain Harris]

yeah that'd make a even a chaplain tempted!

I understood you were to turn the other cheek, after the fourth turn can't you swing a good right?

You know, they never put green coloring in good beer, it's always in the cheapest crap they can get. Probably the only way they can sell it.

[No Green Beer?!
This year while the hoi polloi swill their green-dyed beers, you can be a cut above by responsibly enjoying a decidedly different beverage to toast St. Patrick this weekend. Along with the Germans and Italians, St. Louis has a long and rich Irish heritage. If your favorite pub serves Anheuser-Busch's Bare Knuckle Stout on draft, then celebrate that heritage with an Irish American, a new twist on the classic black-and-tan.

Half Budweiser and half Bare Knuckle Stout, the combination not only tantalizes your taste buds with the rich, toasty flavor the dark stout and the crisp, palate-cleansing taste of the light pilsner, it creates an arresting visual as well: the stout naturally layers on top of the Bud and looks stunning in a traditional pub-style glass.


Sounds pretty bad to me.

I'll pass on that one. Budweisers attempts at craft beers have been bad for a long time..( ex. bud employee here ..we got to taste some stuff that never hit the shelves.)

That remindes me of my trip to Germany during World Cup. 17 days of drinking fantastic beer...except in the stadiums where they served Budwieser...that's right...Budwieser. I thought I was going to puke.

I think I would have cried... no one should be putting that stuff in their bodies... especially when so many better alternatives are easily at hand (ever try Doppel Hirsch? It is sooo good).

As the Wicked Tinker say, "everyone is at least 1/365th Irish". It is amazing how many people think that also requires that they don all that artificial plastic leprecaun crap. As for the drinking, I fondly recall sitting in a beer tent during an October Fest when a friend named Sullivan remarked how strang it is that the local Bavarian community has a festival to do for a week what we do all year long.

Preach on! About 15-30 of us do kilt nights about once a month, and we'll do them at Irish Pubs, and people will say "It's not St. Patrick's day, why are you wearing your kilt?" To which I usually respond " Why are you wearing those pants?"
