Raise your glass for a St. Patty's Day toast!

What's the first thing you think of when St. Patty's Day rolls around each year? Leprechauns? Pots of gold? Ireland? The color green? Of course not, silly... You think of BEER! That's why our featured reviewer this week is one of our own resident beertenders (not to be confused with bartender)... Aleconner. He's a hops enthusiast and mad brew scientist who has reviewed over 100 different beers!! Are you bored with traditional Irish stand-bys like Guinness and Killian's? If so, Aleconner has a long list of alternatives for your St. Patrick's day libations.

Sit down, pour yourself a big ole' pint of goodness and read up on Aleconner's recommendations. Be sure to check out his Scribbles to find out what the heck an Aleconner is. I'll give you a hint - It's NOT his name.

Here's a fun Irish drinking toast to use this weekend:

Here's to a long life and a merry one.

A quick death and an easy one.

A pretty girl and an honest one.

A cold beer—and another one!

Happy St. Patrick's Day weekend!
