No special process is involved in producing this St. Patrick's Day novelty drink. Simply add 5-6
drops of green food coloring to your beer and gently stir. Go for a bright color because a yellow-ish green is off
putting no matter how fast you plan to down your drink. It is also best to go with lighter ales as opposed to a dark
stout, like Guinness. To get a green color out of a Guinness, you would have to add enough food coloring to turn your
teeth green when you take a sip. There are many other Irish beers available to help you get into the St.
Paddy's Day Spirit, even though it might be easier to pick up a six pack of anything that comes in a green bottle to
begin with.

Surely to celebrate in style you'd be knocking back some Guinness, eating sausages in Guinness gravy and mopping it all up with some colcannon??
Just don't muck with the beer!

Berliner Kindl Weisse + Woodruff syrup.

Remember: no serious Irish tamper with pefectly good beer.
