Alba, Guinness is not porter it is stout, a very different animal;-) And anyone who would attempt to put food colouring in it deserves to have their spectacles stapled to their knee caps. Being Irish on Saint Patrick's day for me means, pining real shamrock on my coat, mass in the morning and then a nice breakfast with my family. After that we put out our Tricolour out and then my wife and I get together with my brother and some friends and go out to enjoy some good Irish music and Guinness.
