I know that St. Patrick’s Day isn’t until next week, but let’s be honest, it’s on your mind. So, why drink anything other than Ireland’s finest: Guinness Stout. I don’t feel like I need to expound upon the flavor and richness of Guinness as I’m sure that everyone has tried it. But, lest anyone fear that the upcoming holiday may contribute to growing waistlines, let me assure you that Guinness will not be the culprit. It is a wonder beer, of sorts. Despite it’s thick texture and powerful flavor, Guinness stout is actually very light. It actually has fewer calories that Coca Cola. In fact, there is evidence to suggest that may be healthy, if drunk in moderation.
Another fun fact: the great-great-great-grandson of Arthur Guinness is a local. Os Guinness, who is a prolific author/critic/theologian lives in McClean. So, this weekend drink for your health, drink for our local Guinness family member, and most of all, drink for St. Paddy’s Day.
