Drown the Shamrock!

No fuss - no special pour - no waiting.

Harp Lager is a Vienna-style Irish brew that's a leading brand in Ireland. It was created in 1960 by the Guinness Brewery (now called Diageo) in Dundalk, Ireland. According to legend, the Irish celebrants on St. Patrick's Day wore shamrocks on their clothes and took them off at the end of the day to place in their whiskey. We recommend Harp.

St. Patrick's Day is a good time to ponder all its inconsistencies while enjoying a noble brew. First,
St. Patrick was not Irish, second, he started off as an atheist. Next, St. Patrick's Day was a holy day in Ireland -- Irish Americans made it the amusing food and drink fest it is today. And, there is no corn in corned beef. Never mind the irony, by now you should be just enjoying the Harp and laughing about it all with friends. 

Slainte!

Steamy Apple Cider

Fall's bounty, with or without the rum.

Okay, so you spent the morning complaining about the end of summer and the afternoon raking leaves. After a long walk with the dog, wearing your favorite sweater, you reward yourself with a warm, golden nectar that fills your kitchen with the soothing aroma of fall. Add allspice, cloves, nutmeg and a cinnamon stick. Better still, add a splash of rum, whiskey or Port. You've come home to the magic of hot apple cider and you're almost ready to face the holiday season.

Make it quickly and easily...
