All this notwithstanding, we love St. Patrick's Day because it's an opportunity to reflect of the two greatest things Ireland has given us... Irish Stout and Irish Red. Grab a case one of these delicious beers and put the other drunken Erin-Go-Braless revelers to shame.
Irish Stout
Hats off to Guinness - one of the most recognized and best marketed beers in the world that is actually a good beer. Brilliant! Always satisfying. However, if you want to drink a better Irish Stout, lay your hands on a Beamish. You'll never go back. Murphy's is another good example of the style.
Irish Red
Yeah, yeah I order a Killians when I'm at my local TGIApplebeesBennigans, but U.S. brewed Killians is about as Irish as Sean Connery. A better pick would be a Smithwick, Murphy's or O'Hara's.
Green Beer Geek T-Shirts
Okay, you've picked your beer, now for the wardrobe. It is de rigeur that you wear a green t-shirt to any St Paddy's Day party. These are often of the "Kiss Me I'm Irish" or "Irish I Were Drunk" variety. But you don't have to go that route. Here are a selection of fine green tees for home brewers and beer geeks.
Your Beer Sucks Simple. Arrogant. Green. "Your Beer Sucks - My Homebrew Tastes Better" This works even better if you're drinking a mug of your own Dry Stout. |
Home Brewer Seal This parody of the Guinness logo proclaims the following: Home Brewer Extraordinaire - I make hand crafted ales and lagers. Brewed with care and skill, my beer tastes awesome and is vastly superior to the watered-down corporate swill you drink. |
Pilsner Rocks "Pilsner" - rock and roll parody shirt, spells out one of the classic beer styles in classic AC/DC typeface. |
Bubbly Beer Geek Features "Brew Geek" with the word Beer spelled out with bubbling beer. |

Zymurgy Definition "Zymurgy - (zahy-mur-jee) noun - the branch of applied chemistry dealing with fermentation, as in beermaking, brewing, winemaking, the preparation of yeast, etc." A great shirt to explain to people just exactly what it is you do with all those chemicals in your basement. |
Pour Favor Pour Favor" t-shirt for draft beer lovers. Tap that keg and get a pint. |
