I dunno, for many years I’ve been using just a SINGLE drop of blue food coloring in the bottom of the glass before I pour in a pale colored beer. It always turns out looking like the nice emerald green that you got with the green coloring. Go figure!

[...] Even though St. Patty’s Day has come and gone, I’d like to relive the traditions for the greenest day of the year. Some of my fave recipes to make for a perfect St. Patrick’s Day are classic Corned Beef and Cabbage and, of course, Green beer! [...]

Well I once drank a green beer that was obtained mixing regular pale ale with blue curaçao! (Nothing irish about that, in fact it wasn’t even supposed to be… it was just a “specialty” that a pub in Italy, where I live, offered from time to time).
Needless to say, not only the curaçao altered the beer’s taste a bit (making it somewhat sweeter) but it also got me pretty hammered, since it’s much heavier that beer, in alcohol content!
Better use the food coloring, indeed!

FWIW, if you dye it with methylene blue + liquid B complex, it comes out just as bright a green as it goes in, so you can continue to be festive at the urinal!

alternatively… put a half ounce of blue curacao liqueur into your glass then pour 12 ounces of beer into the glass and you’ll have a green beer. The liqueur will give the beer a bit of an orange flavor but it tastes pretty good, kinda like a lager and lime.

Billbo, my irish friend, of course Guiness is the beer of choice, but admit it, you lovely people dye and entire canal of water green!! Green is the color of choice, and that’s the effect Americans are shooting for. It is nothing more than an act of intense devotion to the holiday!! I too am irish, and reside in the states. In the end, the desired result is fun to be had by all and the streets to be covered in St. Paddy’s lovely green hue!! Happy Day to you all!! )
