St. Patrick’s Day
Post by Scott - 3/13/2025
It’s that time of year again! You’re mostly/half/sort of Irish on your mom’s side, right? Cool. Let’s drink some green beer, eat some corned beef, act like you can Irish dance, and for God’s sake, no one is ordering an Irish Car Bomb. You didn’t come here for a history lesson, but look up The Troubles, but also because you’re too old for that. Seriously, I don’t know you, but if you’re reading this, it probably means you have at least one kid and there’s no hangover quite like the hangover that comes with trying to fake it through a Sunday morning with your toddler when all you want to do is lay completely still on a cold bathroom floor and wait for the pain to cease. Guinness, Jameson’s, and Bailey’s? That’s a recipe for disaster. Stick to Dry Irish Stouts. Low ABV, filling, and you’ll only slightly regret it tomorrow!
