HOW TO MAKE GREEN BEER FOR ST PATRICK'S DAY


St. Patrick's Day is a popular holiday in the United States since many Americans have ancestors who migrated to the United States from Ireland. If you're having a St. Patrick's Day party with alcohol, you have to serve green beer. There are some easy ways to turn beer the lovely green color we associate with St. Patrick's Day.

Light colored beer
Beer glass
Green food coloring

1 Choose a light colored Irish beer such as Irish Red Ale, Harp or an Irish Amber. While Guinness or Murphy's are popular Irish beers, they're too dark to truly turn green. (I used Coors Light) :))


2 Add 2 drops of green food coloring into the bottom of a chilled glass.

3 Pour the beer into the glass.

4 Observe the green color-especially in the head (the foamy portion at the top of the glass). Add another drop or two of food coloring, if needed. If you add the food coloring after pouring the beer into the glass, it will still work, but you will have to stir the beer.
