My family’s tradition is to eat a hearty meal of corned beef, cabbage, Irish soda bread and green jello while listening to The Chieftains or some other Irish jam band. The drink of choice is always beer. On occasion, there will be a Guinness lying around; otherwise we drink some of my dad’s homebrew. Read more

So, put down that colored beer and pick up a beer that makes a difference not just on St. Patrick’s Day, but all year long. Read more
