Happy St. Patty’s Day! Are you ready to celebrate the luck of the Irish? If you are saving your night out for Friday, we have some fun ways you can celebrate at home or with friends around the fire all weekend long!
Color Your Beer
Green beer is a fan favorite during St. Patty’s day! Did you know that you could make it at home? All you need is your favorite beer and green gel food coloring! This works well with a lighter beer so that the color shines through. Add 2 drops of green food coloring to the bottom of your glass and pour beer into the glass. The color will naturally mix into the beer as your pour. Sit back and enjoy your green beer with some homemade Shepherd’s Pie (or frozen, we don’t judge).
