Happy St. Patrick's Day!

You don't have to be Irish to celebrate St. Patrick's day. Whether you choose to fill up on bangers and mash or green beer, there are plenty of places in DC to accommodate you and your green hat. Put on your dancing shoes, practice your jig (TW, you're ready), and pour yourself a Guinness or two (or 7).

If you plan on staying in, be sure to check out my friend Christy's blog, the Beer B1tch. She can help you pick out some great brews to bring home as she knows more about beer than anyone I know. (I was always embarrassed at happy hour to order a Miller Lite in front of her! ha). She is also brewing her own beer at home. I have to hand it to her- I had NO idea how involved the process is. Her patience is unmatched!
