St. Patricks day is my second favorite holiday next to Halloween. People get tore up, have fun, make mistakes, blackout, and wake up regretting a lot of things. Whats not to love?
Every year I make an Irish Red beer to help celebrate the holiday. I usually base this beer on a recipe by Jamil Zainasheff from Heretic Brewing. He is also hosting a podcast that I like called Brewing with Style.
This year my local home brew shop (LHBS), Three Stars Brewing Co, was out of WLP004 Irish ale yeast so I used their WLP028 Edinburgh Scottish ale yeast instead.
The beer turned out great and the keg was kicked by the end of the night. Good times! Good friends! Good food!
