Thirsty Thursday: Smithwick's

"He was a wise man who invented beer."

Plato

What? Just a beer this week? Nay! Not just a beer! It's March and that means we have a certain holiday coming up, Saint Patrick’s Day, and being Americans of course we use any other nations holiday as an excuse to get plotzed.

If you're like me you're probably going to try and drink all day. The problem with this is if you just order whatever cheap green beer they have on tap you will probably be drinking gallons of miller lite with food dye in it. That can get messy. The other route is you could drink Guinness all day. You can try this but as you know Guinness is thick. Your belly will fill up and you won't feel so sexy after round 4 or 5.

This year try a Smithwick's. But when you order it say it... "Gimmie a Smid-dic's" That's how you order it. I don't know why... If you wanted to really learn about the history you'd be on www.smithwicks.ie and not this blog.

Go Drink.
