Although I am not a regular visitor to bars, when
I saw the ads this week for bars that would be serving
green beer for St. Patrick's Day, I would think
"How exciting to drink green beer...let's go!"
I thought it must be a complicated process to get the
beer green but guess what...it's the easiest recipe
you'll ever make (well, IF you like beer that is)...

Pour yourself a glass of beer.
Add 2-3 drops of green food coloring
(or a tiny squiggle of green gel food coloring,
which is what I had on hand). Stir. Presto! Green beer!

Lighter colored beers will display the green color better
than dark colored beers but even dark beers will have
a nice green head of foam. Don't ask me how I know this.
I don't think the food coloring affected the taste at all.
Now that I know the secret of green beer,
I don't even have to go to a bar for some.
Update 2017
My post "Green Beer" was one of the first blog posts I
did back in 2011. It is pretty basic. Six years later I am
probably guilty of too many pictures in my posts so I feel
compelled to add more pictures. The "recipe" is still the same!
Pour a beer into a glass.
Love this beer mug I got at Dollar Tree in 2016.
Obviously I'm not good at achieving a foamy head on a beer.
The "trick" to green beer is food coloring!
Any type will do...this food coloring pack came
from Dollar Tree.
Sqeeze in 1-2 drops and stir gently so you won't
ruin your head of foam (if you happen to get one).
If the color is good to you after 1-2 drops of green food coloring, stop.
More than 3 drops per glass makes the imbiber's tongue start to turn green.
Ta-dah!!! Amaze your friends and save a trip to
a bar to get green beer for St. Patrick's Day.
