What are you doing for St. Patty's Day?

Just curious--

What beers do people have lined up for St. Patty's Day?? I'm actually off this year, and I'm going to make the most of it.

I have an American Red Ale, a Copper Ale, and a Porter on the deck for the taps--

I've even gone out and purchased a bunch of Dropkick Murphy's, Flogging Molly, and The Tossers music from Itunes for my bar--plan on making it an all day Irish fest.

We're doing basically the same thing.

Flogging Molly on the radio.
All of our brews have been put off till St. Patty's when we will officially take the first drink. The Hard Lemonade we tried to make did not turn well, but not bad, if you sweeten it and freeze it, it makes a great frozen drink we'll probably freeze a little for those who don't like beer. And our St. Patty's Windy Cousin didn't turn out 'bad' per se just not palatable, however that's where more Irish Creme Syrup, Lemon Juice, or irish creme and irish whiskey (Irish Carbomb), come in handy...

We're going to line-up the 4 beers we have with the Apfelwein and maybe some of the Hard Lemonade Daquiri and take a picture before we commence. It's sure to be a thing of beauty.

Anyone have any ideas how well a porter does with Irish Carbombs???

We're also going to take a picture of the 165 12 oz bottles, 13 34oz bottles, and 9 16oz grolsch bottles.... (that's 2634oz, 20gallons)... It still amazes me.... that's a lot of beer, a lot of GOOD beer...

One of our truly authentic Irish pubs opens at 0800 with live music and breakfast-- we're going to do a pubcrawl all day, ending up at my bar with lots of Irish punk/folk rock music and homebrew.

I've heard the Pogues are a good group. . . Thinking about buying an album from them as well.

My whole family is German. . .except my grandfather who was Dutch/Irish--I inherited the Irish last name. . . The Irish in me is hankerin to drink all day on St. Paddy's Day, and pay for it the next day.

I think when it boils down, we're all 100% pure mutt. I do speak German, but there's enough other stuff in there I can't claim any country other than the good ol' USA.

You know, seeing as it is the month of St. Paddy's day, the Irish in me is about to beat the German into submission. . .
