I recently picked up Upland's Ard Ri Imperial Red Ale and Three Floyds' Brian Boru Old Irish Red Ale. I plan on comparing them on St. Patrick's Day and will post my thoughts. Any recommendations on other Irish style or Ireland originating beers to try on the 17th?
On a somewhat related note, and perhaps a little strange coming from a beer blog...but I would like to encourage everyone to celebrate St. Patrick's Day responsibly. Also, if you can manage to break free from the typical American ideal of St. Patrick's Day, please do. For some people the day is still a celebration of Irish heritage and culture and not just an excuse to get drunk. Pick up a book by an Irish author, spend time with family and just enjoy life. Those are more fitting of a day that is supposed to celebrate Ireland's patron saint.
