Make your own green beer

Green beer on St. Patty's Day has been a tradition for decades. So, why do we drink green beer? Most believe that when the Irish settled in Boston and faced discrimination they chose to show their Irish pride by using the color green for all things Irish.

Most pubs, bars and restaurant will readily have beer available for all those who seek it. If you are more of the stay at home type than making your own green beer is an easy task. Simply choose a very light colored beer, such as Bud or Miller Light and use a drop of blue food coloring. Mix the food coloring in and voila, green beer.

If you enjoy ciders, maybe try Woodchuck Pear Cider which is a very light yellow color and has a great pear taste. So enjoy your green beer whether you are out and about or at home.
