4 Awesome Recipes for St. Paddy's Day!

by Matt DeMarco

(editor's note:  Matt DeMarco joined our staff a few months ago and he has proven to be an invaluable addition.  Despite his youth (I have socks older than him), his beer knowledge is extensive. Besides being an accomplished home brewer, he is also an excellent chef.  As he mentions below he holds a degree in Culinary Arts.  Peter (owner), Brian (manager), and I (lackey) hope you enjoy these recipes and your St. Patrick's Day festivities.)



With the approaching St. Patrick’s Day holiday, we wanted to share our wealth of knowledge to help you enjoy your day. For those of you who don’t know me that well, in addition to my love of beer I hold a Culinary Arts degree. With my beer and food expertise, I have developed a few beer and food pairings that can be easily prepared at home.

You will notice that I did not include Guinness, Harp, Murphy’s, Smithwick’s or any of the other traditional Irish ales. Each of those beers can be paired with any of these recipes but instead I chose a beer to pair with each course that will best complement each other.  These are only suggestions and there is no right or wrong. The goal is to have fun with it and besides it gives you a reason to drink beer.
