Our Beer Is Green Because It’s Uh, Uh, Almost St. Patrick’s Day! Yeah! That’s It!

By Yancy Lee Crawford

I know you didn’t order a green beer, but c’mon… it’s March! You know you want one even if you didn’t order a pitcher of weirdly thick, uncarbonated green beer with your lunch. 

Our brewers made all of our… uh… pilsners… sour green this week because it’s almost St. Patrick’s Day, and that was totally on purpose.

Sours and pilsners are both really having a moment. They were both disrespected and underappreciated for the longest time, but they’re finally getting the respect they deserve. It was only a matter of time before brewing pioneers like we have on our staff would think to blend the two styles to create this Frankenstein of a beer. Who is also green, by the way!

We can assure you that this completely unpalatable beverage is the result of avant-garde brewing techniques, and not the result of some risky ingredient decisions the brewers made to try to win a competition. If you don’t like it, it’s because you’re probably not a real craft beer fan. You’re part of the scene, right?

Besides, what’s not to like about green beer a few days early? Did the leprechaun steal your gold AND chug reflex? I hope not because that is literally the only way to drink Shamrock Shake Sour(™). Not because drinking it slowly causes temporary blindness and auditory hallucinations, but because that’s how the brewers intended it to be consumed: quickly. Seriously, you don’t want this to get even one degree warmer, so get after it, Lucky.

And please don’t try to send it back! Every time we pour it down the drain, a couple days later an adolescent turtle dressed as a ninja comes out of the sewer and beats up our employees. Somehow the brewers never get touched though, oddly enough. 

Get in the Irish spirit and help us celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day! Every pint purchased comes with a complimentary case, too! Erin go Bragh!
