One of the most common traditions associated with St. Patrick’s Day is the consumption of beer, particularly Irish beer. Some really good ones to try are Yuengling Black & Tan, Killian’s Irish Red, Key Brewing McShane’s Irish Red.  This tradition is said to have originated in Ireland, where it is said that St. Patrick himself drank beer during his travels.

Today, St. Patrick’s Day has become a popular day to celebrate Irish heritage and culture, and many people use the occasion as an excuse to drink and have a good time with friends and family. While beer is a common choice, other alcoholic beverages such as whiskey or cider are also popular, and non-alcoholic options like green-colored beverages or soda are also available.

It’s worth noting that while drinking is a part of many St. Patrick’s Day celebrations, it’s important to do so responsibly and to always prioritize your safety and the safety of those around you.

A stout beer dinner is a great way to celebrate Stout Beer Month. Start off the evening with a light appetizer such as a cheese plate or charcuterie board. Then, move on to a hearty main course such as a beef stew or a hearty beef and stout pie. For dessert, serve a classic stout beer float or a chocolate stout cake. Pair each course with a different stout beer to really bring out the flavors of the meal. Finish off the evening with a Bell’s Expedition Stout, Bell’s Kalamazoo Stout, New Holland Dragon’s Milk White Stout, Flying Dog Cookies & Cream, Terrapin, Wake and Bake, Monument City Coconut Cloud. These are just a few of the great Stout Beer’s we carry.

Vintage Stock
