What the hell does St Patrick's day have to do with appreciating good beer? In the US, "St Paddy's" day has largely become a poor facsimile of the cheap Carnival knock-offs that allow peddlers of watery lager and plastic beads to contribute to a "Girls Gone Wild", frat-rat culture of absurd overconsumption. The "fine folks" at Guinness haven't had any compunction against this trend. Pimping this garbage is below you. Have some self respect.
