Title: St. Patricks Day Beer
Post by: Tyler on March 16, 2007, 12:24:59 AM: I'm looking to our Irish friends to help me out with this one, but all can respond. What's the best beer to drink on St. Patrick's day?

Post by: Beer Barron on March 16, 2007, 03:31:38 AM: My first answer would be "Any Beer!", but maybe you should go with a Half Guiness/Half Harp. Cheers!

Post by: VFRWolf on March 16, 2007, 06:53:49 AM: Guiness, or Murpheys Irish Stout. Black and Tan made with Guiness and Harps is good too.

What is a pint o plain? If you don't mind me asking?

I'm usually a Guinnes or Murphy's guy when it comes to Irish Stout, but I thought that might be the Americanized version of Irish beer, so I was looking to pick up some "authentic" stuff at BevMo on my way home today.

Stout.

"The Workmans Friend"
When things go wrong and will not come right,
Though you do the best you can,
When life looks black as the hour of night -
A pint of plain is your only man.

When money's tight and hard to get
And your horse has also ran,
When all you have is a heap of debt -
A pint of plain is your only man.

When health is bad and your heart feels strange,
And your face is pale and wan,
When doctors say you need a change,
A pint of plain is your only man.

When food is scarce and your larder bare
And no rashers grease your pan,
When hunger grows as your meals are rare -
A pint of plain is your only man.

In time of trouble and lousey strife,
You have still got a darlint plan
You still can turn to a brighter life -
A pint of plain is your only man.

Title: Re: St. Patricks Day Beer
Post by: Tyler on March 16, 2007, 11:28:55 PM: I go lucky today. Got to BevMo and they were having an Irish beer tasting event. :@`

After trying, Harp, Murphy's Red, Murphy's Stout, Guinness Draught, and Guinness Extra Stout - oh and talking to the lovely lady that was tasting beer along side of me, I decided to go with the Guinness Draught. ;)

I'm good to go for tomorrow! AND, I met my brother-in-laws for a couple pints of plain.

On a happier note, my vacation to Ireland this spring is still a good possibility. It will be nice to drink a pint of Irish beer IN Ireland soon.

Title: Re: St. Patricks Day Beer
Post by: Shiny on March 17, 2007, 07:25:30 PM: An Irishman is on his deathbed and his lifelong friend is with him 'til the end. With a tear in his eye, he looks into the fading eyes of his best friend and asks "Is there anything I can do for ye when you've passed on to the other side?". His friend weakly replies "If it's not too much to ask, could ye take a bottle of that fine Irish whiskey and pour it over me grave.". After a brief thought, the friend responds with "Aye, anything for me closest friend... but do ye mind if I strain it through me kidneys just once".

Happy St Patrick's Day buds! ;D

Great food, a few Harps, and a couple of irish coffees to end the night. A little tired, but not hurting (actually went to the gym this AM).

the day that I celebrated with a Vicodin and an ice cold Shiner Bock. Then it was lights out.

It's a Nova Scotian Beer and those who like it like it a lot..... It's the onlything us Nova Scotians will have to export in a million years
